Made tea for the said offspring (6)
I believe the answer is:
brewed
'made tea' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'said offspring' is the wordplay.
'said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'offspring' becomes 'brood' (I've seen this before).
'brood' sounds like 'BREWED'.
'for the' is the link.
(Other definitions for brewed that I've seen before include "make beer" , "like beer!" , "Fermented" , "Made by boiling and fermentation, say beer" , "ready to get drunk?" .)
