Will such water make tea, dear? (7)
I believe the answer is:
aerated
'will such water make tea dear?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'make tea dear?' is the wordplay.
'make' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tea'+'dear'='teadear'
'teadear' with letters rearranged gives 'AERATED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aerated that I've seen before include "(Of liquid) charged with gas" , "Perturbed" , "As pop is" , "hot under the collar" , "pumped up" .)
