Sugar melts faster in hot tea because the heat of the water causes it to melt more quickly. Iced water is very cold and the sugar takes longer to dissolve.

Sugar melts faster in hot tea because the molecules in the hot tea are moving faster, which increases the collision rate with the sugar molecules. This increased collision rate transfers more thermal energy to the sugar, causing it to melt faster. In ice tea, the lower temperature of the liquid reduces the collision rate and thermal energy transfer, resulting in a slower melting process.
