How tithe gets distributed, making you intensely passionate (5-3)

I believe the answer is:

white-hot

'intensely passionate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'how tithe gets distributed' is the wordplay.
'gets distributed' is an anagram indicator.
'how'+'tithe'='howtithe'
'howtithe' is an anagram of 'WHITE-HOT'.

'making you' is the link.

(Another definition for white-hot that I've seen is " Glowing fiercely with heat".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
