Cheaply-made beer in tea? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

homebrew

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

'cheaply-made beer' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'in tea?' is the wordplay.
'in' becomes 'home' ('he's in' can mean 'he's home').
'tea?' becomes 'brew' (brew can informally mean a cup of tea).
'home'+'brew'='HOMEBREW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for homebrew that I've seen is " alcohol".)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
