Jan 23, 2016 at 21:51 comment added Hot Licks To most people in the US "infusion" is something that's done in a hospital. It's really only used (in the tea sense) by tea fanatics and folks trying to be hoity-toity.

Jan 23, 2016 at 15:41 comment added Mitch 'Infusion' is not really generally used in the US for tea. Someone who is very familiar with tea would use 'infusion' only for herbal teas and not at all for black tea. And 'infusion' is the liquid itself not the act of putting water over the leaves. I can't think of a noun that is the event of having the leaves sit in hot water to become flavored. 'steeping' is the verb for tea and 'brewing' for coffee.
