Delicious liquid in surprisingly hot mug taken round (5-8)
I believe the answer is:
mouth-watering
'delicious' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'liquid in surprisingly hot mug taken round' is the wordplay.
'liquid' becomes 'water' (water is a kind of liquid).
'in surprisingly hot mug' becomes 'mouthing' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'taken round' indicates putting letters inside.
'water' placed within 'mouthing' is 'MOUTH-WATERING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mouth-watering that I've seen before include "Temptingly delicious" , "Very tasty" , "Highly tempting" , "Hit warm tongue (anag) - yummy" , "Smelling or looking delicious" .)
