Unless your sister is 4 years old, and her child is a toy doll, this is not about what you had for tea. You are not going to figure it out on your own, you'll have to ask her.
Catch her in a quiet moment and ask her if you can talk about the family dynamic. Make sure your tone does not imply that she's being silly or selfish or intentionally rude. Ask her if there is anything YOU can do to make living together easier, to make sure everyone is happy and getting along. By focusing on what you can do, instead of what she can do, you keep her off the defensive, but you plant the idea in her mind and she will be forced to think about the way she is acting as well.
Does the house you are living in belong to her or your parents? If it is your parents' home, she really doesn't have the right to be upset that you are there because she is there too--you are both your parents' children and have equal rights. That said, if it is her home, and having you there is straining your relationship, you might want to consider leaving asap. You don't want to destroy your relationship with your sister for life just to save a few dollars on rent.
