Crossword Genius

Try this mixture when parched (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thirsty

'parched' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'try this mixture' is the wordplay.
'mixture' indicates an anagram.
'try'+'this'='trythis'
'trythis' with letters rearranged gives 'THIRSTY'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for thirsty that I've seen before include "Ardently desiring" , "Keen" , "Needing moisture" , "Dry" , "Hungry" .)

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