Today I studied present tense verbs in japanese. I haven't seen many examples so these might be very wrong.
私は魚を食べる。
I eat fish.
私は冷たいお茶を飲まない。
I don't drink cold tea.
私の親切な友達は家にいる。
My kind friend is in the house.
私の静かな家に帰らない。
i don't come home to my quiet house.
These are probably have a lot of mistakes. Thanks for the help!
私は魚を食べる。

私は冷たいお茶を飲まない。
I don't drink cold tea.
私の親切な友達は家にいる。
My kind friend is in the house.
私の静かな家に帰らない。
i don't come home to my quiet house.

I don't know why you are worried.
[further study]
（私は）私の静かな家に帰らない。I don't come home to my quiet house.
Japanese people often omit subject. So you can use or omit 私は。Both are OK.
（私は）私のしずかな家に帰れない。I can't come home to my quiet house.
「帰れない」:can't come home.
Please come to my page and correct me, thank you.
In Japanese can you say
私は冷たくないお茶を飲まない。
I'm not sure how to translate into English, but does that sentence make sense in Japanese?
私の静かな家に帰らない。or you can also say 「私は自分の静かな家に帰らない」
まちがいはないと思いますよ :)
This is correct but a bit clumsy.
I usually don't drink hot tea.
私はあたたかいお茶は飲まない。 is more natural.
As you know, double negation sometimes sounds unnatural.
私の親切な友達は家にいる。（Although it's grammatically correct, 「私の親切な友達」 sounds awkward. We usually say: 「私の仲のよい友達」or 「私の親友」.）
私の静かな家に帰らない。（Almost no problem, grammatically, but I could not grasp the meaning. Is it mean "There is always someone in my house when I come home"?）
Other than kazu2008-san's translation, you might also say:
「私は熱いお茶は飲みません」 （not 「お茶を」. The sentence implies you DO drink cold ones.）
We say 「猫舌、ねこじた（cat's tongue）」, who is not good at eating/drinking hot food/drink.
So you can say 「私は猫舌です。」, instead of 「私は熱いお茶が飲めません（I cannot drink hot tea.）」
Keep it up!
