A strong tea felt wrong after cold milky drink (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caffe latte

'milky drink' is the definition.
(milky coffee)

'a strong tea felt wrong after cold' is the wordplay.
'strong' becomes 'f' (musical symbol for 'forte', 'strong' in Italian).
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'cold' becomes 'c' (abbreviation, eg on taps).
'tea'+'felt'='teafelt'
'teafelt' with letters rearranged gives 'felatte'.
'a'+'f'+'felatte'='affelatte'
'affelatte' after 'c' is 'CAFFE LATTE'.
