Brewing (cooking)

Brewing (cooking)

Brewing is an important technique in cookery and involves boiling or simmering. Tea, coffee, and soy sauce are "brewed". Soy sauce, as a product of fermentation, may also be regarded as an alcoholic beverage. Used in this sense, the term "brewing" is normally used of liquids — when other types of food are boiled or simmered the term "stewing" is more likely to be used instead.

The term "brewing" is also used to describe stewing herbs, especially medicinal herbs) and potions, and it is often employed in legend and fiction, especially fantasy, for example a "witches' brew".
