Crossword Genius

Soaked in the deepest concoction (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steeped

'soaked' is the definition.
(steeping is a kind of soaking)

'deepest concoction' is the wordplay.
'concoction' indicates an anagram.
'deepest' with letters rearranged gives 'STEEPED'.

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for steeped that I've seen before include "Soaked in water" , "Saturated or let sit in a liquid" , "Soaked in liquid" , "wet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
