Drink you initially find nice and warm (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toasty

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

'nice and warm' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'drink you initially' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'toast' (toast is a kind of drink).
'you initially' becomes 'y' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'toast'+'y'='TOASTY'

'find' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toasty that I've seen before include "snack" , "Hot food" , "Pleasantly warm" , "Cosily warm" , "nice and warm?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
