Steeped beverage (3)
I believe the answer is:
tea
'steeped beverage' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "For Japanese ceremony" , "(Infused) drink; meal" , "Principally" , "Common drink" , "Oolong, for example" .)
