Crossword Genius

Flavouring makes daughter sick (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dill

'flavouring' is the definition.
(dill is a kind of flavouring)

'daughter sick' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'sick' becomes 'ill' (synonyms).
'd'+'ill'='DILL'

'makes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dill that I've seen before include "Herb; rhymes with beak" , "Herb used in cooking" , "medicinal plant" , "Medicinal herb" , "Aromatic herb used as seasoning" .)

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