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

'it's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in a white apron' is the wordplay.

'TEA' is hidden in the letters of 'white apron'.

'served' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Afternoon meal; drink" , "Light afternoon meal" , "A light meal - eat up" , "Plant" , "Plantation product" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
