Drink; predilection (3,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
cup of tea
I believe this is a double definition.
'drink' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Hot drink ' mean 'cup of tea' so perhaps 'drink' could also mean 'cup of tea')
'predilection' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for cup of tea that I've seen before include "Our national panacea - personal field of interest" , "Hot drink" , "Face pout (anag.)" , "The English panacea" .)
