Heard result of injury, makes tea (5)
I believe the answer is:
brews
'makes tea' is the definition.
(to brew is to make tea)
'heard result of injury' is the wordplay.
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'result of injury' becomes 'bruise'.
'bruise' sounds like 'BREWS'.
(Another definition for brews that I've seen is " Makes tea".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
