If without else

Question

hi, i am trying to create a drinks machine with 8 checkboxesand 2 textfields to display the drink chosen and the price. My question is when i come to the if statements i am getting an if without else error.I will post my code if some could just see if i am on the right lines i don't want the code changing, I would like to know if i am doing it right and if not where i am going wrong, i am a novice who is wanting to learn.
thankyou.
ps. sorry for not using code tags i tried to edit but was unable.
     public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent ie)
          if(ie.getSource()==tea)
               if(tea.getState==true)
                    tf1.setText("TEA");
               else
                    tf1.setText("");
          if(ie.getSource()==coffee)
               if(coffee.getState()==true)
                    tf1.setText("COFFEE");
                    tf1.setText("");
          if(ie.getSource()==cocoa)
               if(cocoa.getState()==true)
                    tf1.setText("COCOA");
               else
                    tf1.setText("");
          if(ie.getSource()==chocolate)
               if(chocolate.getState()==true)
