Use a sieve (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strain

'use a sieve' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for strain that I've seen before include "Put through a perforated device to separate" , "Race" , "Stretch or exert to the utmost" , "tax" , "Strive; ancestry" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, the Canadiana, the Penny Press, the Universal, the L.A. Times Daily and The Times.
