I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the tea' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'anne's turned up' is the wordplay.

'annes' written backwards gives 'SENNA'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for senna that I've seen before include "Plant with medicinal pods" , "Late driver" , "Natural laxative" , "Medicinal plant - racing driver, Ayrton" , "Laxative from pods" .)
