Give a fellow freshly brewed tea? (6)
I believe the answer is:
donate
'give' is the definition.
(donating is a kind of giving)
'a fellow freshly brewed tea?' is the wordplay.
'a fellow' becomes 'don' (both can mean an academic).
'freshly brewed' indicates an anagram (letters in a fresh order).
'tea' is an anagram of '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" .)
