Kid that’s hot drinks noisily (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tease

'kid' is the definition.
(I know this)

'hot drinks noisily' is the wordplay.
'hot drinks' becomes 'teas' (tea is a type of hot drink).
'noisily' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'teas' sounds like 'TEASE'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Playfully provoke" , "Tantalize" , "Banter, provoke gently" , "Banter, make gentle fun of" , "Chaff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
