Stimulant tarnished blue tent (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

betel nut

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'tarnished blue tent' is the wordplay.
'blue tent' can be anagrammed to 'BETEL NUT'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for betel nut that I've seen before include "that's found on palm" , "Seed of a palm chewed (with its leaves) as a narcotic" , "supplies a narcotic" , "stimulant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
