Here it is really an idiomatic way of saying 'boil the tea." Literally, it's "make the tea boil."

In French, the word "faire," like in English, can be like "to make someone do something."

Ma mère me fait nettoyer ma chambre = my mother makes me clean my room.
On ne peut pas faire aimer apprendre les étudiants = one can't make students like to learn (I.e. you can't force them to like it.)

So in this sentence, il faut faire bouillir le thé, it literally means "it is necessary to make the tea boil."
