Bit of sugared mint with Eton mess and creams (9)
I believe the answer is:
ointments
'creams' is the definition.
('ointment' can be a synonym of 'cream')
'bit of sugared mint with eton mess' is the wordplay.
'bit of' indicates taking the first letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'mess' indicates anagramming the letters.
The initial letter of 'sugared' is 's'.
's'+'mint'='smint'
'smint' after 'eton' is 'etonsmint'.
'etonsmint' with letters rearranged gives 'OINTMENTS'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ointments that I've seen before include "Balms" , "Emollients, unguents" , "Soothing creams" , "Soothing or medicinal preparations" , "Preparations applied externally as a remedy or for soothing" .)
