Drink, maybe eat (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea

'drink' is the definition.
(tea is a drink)

'maybe eat' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eat' anagrammed gives 'TEA'.

(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Assam, e.g." , "Elevenses" , "Assam, for instance" , "Hot infusion" , "Popular beverage brewed at home" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
