Smoke Infusion

Smoke

Smoke is an aerosol emitted when a material undergoes combustion or pyrolysis, together with the quantity of air that is entrained or otherwise mixed into the mass. It is commonly an unwanted by-product of fires, but may also be used for pest control (fumigation), communication, defensive and offensive capabilities in the military, cooking, or smoking. It is used in rituals where incense, sage, or resin is burned to produce a smell for spiritual or magical purposes. It can also be a flavoring agent and preservative.

Infusion

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 also the name for the resultant fluid mixture. The process of infusion is distinct from both decoction, a method of extraction involving boiling the plant material, and percolation, in which water is passed through the material.
