In parts of the UK, tea is the name of a late afternoon meal, as well as a drink. Context will indicate which is being referred to.

In this sense, I make tea for my family. I cook tea if I'm preparing a hot meal.

Rover_KEI cook tea if I'm preparing a hot meal.
So it's natural in parts of the UK, but nowhere in the US.
