A drink there's always time for (3)
I believe the answer is:
tea
'a drink' is the definition.
(tea is a kind of drink)
'always time for' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ea' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'there's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Elevenses" , "Assam, e.g." , "Sort of garden, chest or service" , "Lapsang souchong" , "going to pot?" .)
