Leaves in hot water here? (7)
I believe the answer is:
teapots
'leaves in hot water here?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'leaves in hot water here?' is the wordplay.
'leaves in hot water' becomes 'tea' (I've seen this in another clue).
'here?' becomes 'pots' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'tea'+'pots'='TEAPOTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for teapots that I've seen is " Brewing vessels!".)
