Generate bubbly as beverage (5,3)

I believe the answer is:

green tea

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

'beverage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'generate bubbly' is the wordplay.
'generate' anagrams to 'GREEN TEA'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for green tea that I've seen before include "Infused drink" , "Healthy drink" , "Drink - generate (anag)" , "'Asian herbal drink (5,3)'" , "Teen rage (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
