What the wheatear has to drink (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea

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

'what the wheatear has' is the wordplay.
'has' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TEA' is hidden in the letters of 'what wheatear'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Refreshment" , "Dried leaf infusion" , "Infused leaves" , "A light meal - eat up" , "Sort of garden, chest or service" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
