सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Traditional Korean teas are often made from roots (ginger, ginseng), grains (barley, corn), or fruits (citron, jujube) rather than just Camellia sinensis leaves. This is why 'boiling' (끓이다) is so common. The 'Dadao' ({다도|茶道}) is the Korean tea ceremony. It emphasizes the 'four virtues': harmony, reverence, purity, and tranquility. In modern Korea, 'tea' can also refer to instant mix sticks. For these, the verb '타다' (to mix/pour) is more common than '끓이다'. Offering tea is a sign of 'Jeong' ({정|情}). Even in a business meeting, the first thing offered is usually a cup of tea or coffee.
The 'ㄹㅎ' Rule
When 끓이다 is conjugated with a vowel (like 끓여), the 'ㅎ' disappears and 'ㄹ' carries over. Don't try to pronounce the 'h'!
Water vs Tea
If a Korean person asks if you want to drink 'water', they might actually bring you 'boiled barley tea' (보리차).

Causative Logic
Mastering 끓이다 helps you understand other causative verbs like 먹이다 (to feed) or 입히다 (to dress someone).
Don't 'Cook' Tea
Never use '요리하다' for tea. It's a dead giveaway that you're translating literally from another language.
