The Spanish cooked tea to delight (5)
I believe the answer is:
elate
'delight' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the spanish cooked tea' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'cooked' indicates an anagram.
'tea' anagrammed gives 'ate'.
'el'+'ate'='ELATE'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for elate that I've seen before include "Doctor suitor to Anne Page (MWOW)" , "Overjoy" , "Excite" , "Uplift (mood)" , "Inspirit, make exultant" .)
