Leaves it's possible to eat (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea

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

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

'possible to eat' is the wordplay.
'eat' can be anagrammed to 'TEA'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Infused leaves" , "Early evening meal" , "Shrub; drink" , "Sort of garden, chest or service" , "A light meal - eat up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
