Take tea, perhaps (3)
I believe the answer is:
eat
'take' is the definition.
(eating is a kind of taking)
'tea perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'tea' with letters rearranged gives 'EAT'.
(Other definitions for eat that I've seen before include "Take food" , "and 27: Be humiliated" , "Ingest" , "Scoff" , "Consume for tea" .)
