Make black tea (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

char

This clue is a double definition.

'make black' is the first definition.
(to char is to blacken by burning)

'tea' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for char that I've seen before include "Daily cleaner; burn" , "Burn lightly" , "Overcook - fish - daily" , "Singe; a fish" , "Person who cleans" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
