Leaves for a drink (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea

This clue is a double definition.

'leaves' is the first definition.
(as in tea leaves)

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

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Evening meal - eat up" , "Infused leaves" , "Hot drink" , "Sort of garden, chest or service" , "Cha" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Wall Street Journal.
