• Cuaca dingin = the weather is cold (general condition/forecast).
• Udara dingin = the air feels cold (immediate physical sensation). In your sentence, either works.

Do I need to include minum before teh in membuat saya ingin teh?

It’s more natural to include it: membuat saya ingin minum teh. Saying ingin teh is understandable but sounds elliptical; with beverages, Indonesians usually specify the action: minum.

What’s the difference between ingin and mau here?

• ingin = want/desire; neutral to slightly formal/polite.
• mau = want/would like; everyday, casual, also marks future in speech. Either works: ingin minum teh (politer) vs mau minum teh (casual).
