A taste that is similar (5)

I believe the answer is:

alike

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

'is similar' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a taste' is the wordplay.
'taste' becomes 'like' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'like'='ALIKE'

'that' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
