Albert -- he brewed a hot drink (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

herbal tea

'hot drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'albert he brewed a' is the wordplay.
'brewed' is an anagram indicator.
'albert'+'he'='alberthe'
'alberthe' is an anagram of 'herbalte'.
'herbalte'+'a'='HERBAL TEA'

(Other definitions for herbal tea that I've seen before include "Plant infusion" , "healthy drink" , "hot drink" , "liquid concoction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
