"Infuse" is, I believe, the word they intended.
Oh, hey - FWIW, given that it is difficult to find orange bitters, except
online, where they are annoyingly expensive, I recently made my own. They
turned out quite well. I just followed the recipe in Charles H. Baker's
_The Gentleman's Companion_ (which is a real treat, if you're a fan of
overblown virtuoso writing, world travel, the heyday of colonialism, and
a man with an eye for detail and a taste for a good drink).

I used Grey Goose instead of grain alcohol, didn't feel the bitters
needed any burnt sugar (they were quite a nice dark orange color as it
was) and it turned out fine. And it really does make a difference in a
Martini, IMHO.
