Make up for having no tea? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atone

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

'make up for' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'no tea?' is the wordplay.
'no tea' can be anagrammed to 'ATONE'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'having' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for atone that I've seen before include "Recompense" , "Make up for wrong done" , "Turn away from sin and do penance" , "In agreement - sounds singular" , "Make redress" .)
