An infusion is a beverage made by steeping a flavoring substance in hot or boiling water. Infusions include coffee, tea and tisane. Infusions can also be made in another substance, such as alcohol or vinegar, instead of water.
In other contexts, an infusion can mean the introduction of a modifying quality or element. Thus it could be used to describe the addition of new subject matter into a curriculum, or the addition of talented individuals into an organization.
