Mixing tea with glue produces tiles (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tegulae

'tiles' is the definition.
(plural of tegula, type of ancient roof tile)

'mixing tea with glue' is the wordplay.
'mixing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tea' after 'glue' is 'gluetea'.
'gluetea' with letters rearranged gives 'TEGULAE'.

'produces' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
