Burn the tea (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

char

This clue is a double definition.

'burn' is the first definition.
(charring is a kind of burning)

'the tea' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for char that I've seen before include "Become black by burning" , "Burn; scorch" , "way to make carbon" , "House cleaner" , "Partially burn; fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News, The Mirror and The Daily Express.
