Brewing (cooking)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brewing is an important technique in cookery and involves boiling or simmering. Tea, coffee and soy sauce are brewed (soy sauce is a product of fermentation so it may also be deemed an alcoholic beverage.) Used in this sense brewing is normally used of liquids, when other types of food are cooked using boiling or simmering the term stewing is used instead.
The term is also used to describe stewing herbs (especially medicinal herbs) and potions, and is often employed in legend and fiction, especially fantasy, for example a "witches' brew".
