The lady has a table spread, offering drink (6,3)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
herbal tea
'drink' is the definition.
(herbal tea is a kind of drink)
'the lady has a table spread' is the wordplay.
'the lady' becomes 'her' (I've seen this before).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'spread' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'table'='atable'
'atable' is an anagram of 'baltea'.
'her'+'baltea'='HERBAL TEA'
'offering' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for herbal tea that I've seen before include "hot drink" , "Plant infusion" , "healthy drink" , "liquid concoction" .)
