"Tea" in this discussion means an infusion based on tea leaves. That is its
original meaning, with the extension to other infusions derivative from
that.

Off hand I cannot think of any European infusion recipes, which certainly
does not mean they do not exist. There are lots of Islamic recipes for
drinks that are essentially infusions in syrup, to be diluted.
