Infusion is a perfectly good word for what it is; you might also
investigate use of the word "tansy", which, while it has been used to
refer to an herb by that name, and an egg dish containing it, and I'm
not aware of the source of that name, has also been used as a corruption
for the word "athanasia", which means, roughly, "banishing death".
Whether that usage has any link to the herb tansy I don't know, but I
have heard "tansy" used to describe infusions of herbs other than tansy itself.
