Cup of tea left to go cold (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chalice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cup' is the definition.
(chalice is a kind of cup)

'tea left to go cold' is the wordplay.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'go cold' becomes 'ice' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'go' bit.).
'cha'+'l'+'ice'='CHALICE'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chalice that I've seen before include "Church wine cup" , "bowl" , "Cup used in church" , "Large goblet for consecrated wine" , "Church vessel" .)
