Taste tea in Mississippi (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sip

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

'taste tea' is the definition.
'sip' can be an answer for 'taste' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'tea' bit.

'in mississippi' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'SIP' is hidden in the letters of 'mississippi'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sip that I've seen before include "A small taste" , "Small mouthful of liquid" , "Drink slowly" , "Drink, small mouthful" , "Thimbleful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
