Crossword Genius

Unfinished greenish-blue drink (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea

'drink' is the definition.
(tea is a drink)

'unfinished greenish-blue' is the wordplay.
'unfinished' means to remove the last letter.
'greenish-blue' becomes 'teal' (I've seen this before).
'teal' with its final letter removed is 'TEA'.

(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Afternoon or evening meal" , "Meal/drink" , "Earl Grey?" , "TREE" , "Common drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
