Almost a ton of ice (6-4)
I believe the answer is:
ninety-nine
I believe this is a double definition.
'almost a ton' is the first definition.
(ton can mean one hundred)
'ice' is the second definition.
(type of ice cream)
'of' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
