Wat is een infuse drankje?

Infusion is the process of extracting chemical compounds or flavors from plant material in a solvent such as water, oil or alcohol, by allowing the material to remain suspended in the solvent over time. Infusion is a chemical process that uses botanicals that are volatile and release their active ingredients readily in water, oil, or alcohol. An infusion is also the name for the resultant liquid. In this process, a liquid is typically boiled and poured over the herb. After the herb has been allowed to steep in the liquid for an appropriate period of time, it is removed leaving an infusion. Unless the infusion is to be consumed immediately, it is bottled and refrigerated for future use.
