Cream mixed with a liberal sugar syrup (7)
I believe the answer is:
caramel
'sugar syrup' is the definition.
'caramel' can be an answer for 'syrup' (I have seen 'Browned syrup ' mean 'caramel' so perhaps 'syrup' could also mean 'caramel'). I am not certain of the 'sugar' bit.
'cream mixed with a liberal' is the wordplay.
'mixed with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'cream' with its letters mixed up with 'a' can make 'carame'.
'carame'+'l'='CARAMEL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caramel that I've seen before include "Chewy sweet - burnt sugar" , "Browned syrup" , "It's produced by heating sugar until brown" , "Soft sweet" , "Cooked sugar" .)
