Light meals said to tantalise? (4)

I believe the answer is:

teas

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

'light meals' is the definition.
'teas' can be an answer for 'meals' (tea is a kind of meal). I am unsure of the 'light' bit.

'said to tantalise?' is the wordplay.
'said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'to tantalise?' becomes 'tease' (synonyms).
'tease' sounds like 'TEAS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for teas that I've seen before include "Beverage made by steeping leaves in water" , "Afternoon meals" , "Beverages from leaves" , "Hot drinks" .)
