Crossword Genius

Heard result of injury, makes tea (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brews

'makes tea' is the definition.
(to brew is to make tea)

'heard result of injury' is the wordplay.
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'result of injury' becomes 'bruise'.
'bruise' sounds like 'BREWS'.

(Another definition for brews that I've seen is " Makes tea".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
