Infusion Pot - Many medicines which were prescribed required infusions
of ingredients such as bitter orange, cloves or senna. Originally
the ingredients were left soaking in hot water and then drained. Later
it was discovered that it was more effective if the ingredients were
suspended near the surface of the water, as that way more of the drugs
were extracted, this discovery led to the development of the infusion
pot. |
