It means a creation that is a combination. A concoction is something created that is a mixture of things.

It also has a slight nuance of something that is put together without a lot of preplanning, e.g.,

"Mary threw together this fantastic concoction of rice, beans, corn, and sausage that delighted her unexpected guests as much as if she had planned a full course meal for them
