Priest's team getting recipe for magic potion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elixir

'magic potion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'priest's team getting recipe' is the wordplay.
'priest' becomes 'eli' (I've seen this before).
'team' becomes 'xi' (eleven, a football team).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'recipe' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'eli'+'xi'+'r'='ELIXIR'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for elixir that I've seen before include "Potion, panacea" , "Liquid remedy believed to cure all ills" , "Liquid once thought to prolong life" , "Life-prolonging liquor; panacea" , "A life-giving drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
