    1D: Recipes = FORMULAE. FOR (as given in the clue) + MULE (obstinate animal) including A for acidity
    2D: ZERO. O is the last letter for both 3D & 4D
    3D: Cave = GROTTO. Try = GO, around ROT (rubbish) & T (last letter of project)
    4D: Mexican roll =BURRITO. Anagram of "our Brit"
    5D: Disappear into liquid = DISSOLVE. Princess's = DIS. Second = S with anagram of "love" (breaks down)

      Meaning is " bring in "

      Port = goods that are brought in and out
      IM = prefix used to change meaning to just bring in,
      hence = Import

      You have missed the important part- Meaning.

      Meaning/ Bring in are both imp0rts and so it's a DD.

      NoTE:QUestion, here colon indicating continuity as an additive for the entire clue? Is this a correct interpretation of the anno for the solution?

      Delete
    4. Padmanabhan7 October 2022 at 13:03

      Colon is for surface reading only.
      Note is Te (musical note- Do,re,me....)
      Question is Qu
      and Indian student is IL.
      TE QU(IL)A
      Drink is the def.

      Kindly correct me if wrong.

      Cay redevelopment is YCA. includes is the container indicator. Rejection of copper is
      Cu=<. So, it is Y(UC)CA
