Give a fellow freshly brewed tea? (6)
I believe the answer is:
donate
'give' is the definition.
(I know that donate has the is a more specific form of the action give)
'a fellow freshly brewed tea?' is the wordplay.
'a fellow' becomes 'don' (both can mean an academic).
'freshly brewed' is an anagram indicator (letters in a fresh order).
'tea' with letters rearranged gives 'ate'.
'don'+'ate'='DONATE'
(Other definitions for donate that I've seen before include "Contribute charitably" , "Give as a gift as to charity" , "Make a contribution" , "Contribute (to charity)" , "Give charitably - say blood" .)
