The invention proposes an improved method and system for carrying a solvent. To this end, the system (10) for carrying a solvent (20) according to the invention comprises: a container (30) for containing said solvent, a tube (40) placed in said container, said tube having a first extremity (41) placed in the proximity of a bottom part (36) of said container, and a second extremity (42) extending up to an upper part of said container, and an air pump (50) for generating an air flow exiting at said bottom part, such that at least part of said air flow can enter the tube at said first extremity, for carrying said solvent in said tube from said first extremity to said second extremity. By generating an air flow by means of an air pump instead of vapor bubbles naturally generated by locally boiling solvent, solvent can reach the second extremity of the tube while having a much lower temperature than the boiling temperature of the solvent. The invention is preferably applied in an apparatus for preparing a beverage from a solvent and ingredients, the apparatus comprising apart from the above system, an infuser placed at the second extremity, the infuser being intended to contain the ingredients and infuse the ingredients with the solvent exiting at the second extremity.
