It is the sort of thing that's hard to pin down but there tends to be an implied element of hurt in the comfort. Comfort improves the situation.
"Fixing tea for someone" would be an unclear freeform, is it intended to be hurt because you're forced to do a chore? Is it intended to be comforting them? Is it just neutral and no hurt or comfort and just a task?
"Punished by having to fix tea for someone" has a clear hurt "Fixing tea for someone on a cold and rainy day" has clear comfort because the rainy day is the hurt that needs comforting. "Fixing tea as a comfort" is also good, the hurt that can be improved by the tea isn't important to state.
So it depends on how you're defining comfort with no hurt? If you have some examples you'd like to ask about privately you can always e-mail us.
