Steeping
saturation of a food (such as an herb) in a liquid solvent to extract a soluble ingredient into the solvent. E.g., a cup of tea is made by steeping tea leaves in a cup of hot water.
Steeping is the process of soaking ingredients, such as tea leaves or herbs, in hot liquid (often water or milk) to extract flavors and aromas. The steeped liquid is then used as a base for beverages, infusions, or flavoring. Steeping is essential for creating a wide range of teas, infusions, and extracts.
