infusions

Steeped liquid preparations

Infusions are liquids created by steeping something in them—most commonly tea or herbal drinks made by soaking leaves, flowers, or herbs in hot water: chamomile infusions, herbal infusions.

In medicine, an infusion is the slow introduction of fluid into the body, typically intravenously: The patient received a saline infusion.

Figuratively, an infusion is an addition that strengthens or enlivens: an infusion of cash, an infusion of new talent.
