'clueless' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'drink tea freshly brewed cuddling husband' is the wordplay.
'freshly brewed' is an anagram indicator (letters in a fresh order).
'cuddling' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are cuddled or held).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'drink'+'tea'='drinktea'
'drinktea' anagrammed gives 'intedark'.
'intedark' enclosing 'h' is 'IN THE DARK'.

'completely' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
