I believe the answer is:

still

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

'quietly' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'way to make moonshine' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'to make moonshine' becomes 'ill' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'st'+'ill'='STILL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for still that I've seen before include "not bubbly" , "Immobile" , "Motionless, not sparkling" , "Silence" , "Always" .)
