[ihn-FYOO-zhuhn] An infusion is the flavor that's extracted from an ingredient such as tea leaves, herbs or fruit by steeping them in a liquid (usually hot), such as water, for tea. In today's culinary parlance, sauces that have been variously flavored (as with herbs) are also called infusions.

n

1. the therapeutic introduction of a fluid, such as saline solution, into a vein. In contrast to injection, infusion suggests the introduction of a larger volume of a less concentrated solution over a more protracted period. 2. a term used in pharmacy for a liquid extract prepared by steeping a plant substance in water.

1. the steeping of a substance in water to obtain its soluble principles.
2. the product obtained by this process, usually leaves, young stems, or petals to produce a tea for oral administration. See also decoction.
3. the slow therapeutic introduction of fluid other than blood into a vein. See also intravenous infusion.
note: An infusion flows in by gravity, an injection is forced in by a syringe, an instillation is dropped in, an insufflation is blown in, and an infection slips in unnoticed.
