| Apr 24, 2016 at 13:35 | comment | added | user2813274 | Assuming the tea is hot and the milk is cold, adding the sugar first has the benefit of it dissolving better in a hotter solution | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 13:12 | comment | added | l0b0 | Just in case somebody is interested in a practical consideration, sugar dissolves faster the higher the temperature. So if you're looking to keep your colleagues happy... | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 11:14 | comment | added | Valentin Tihomirov | The sugar must change the temperature. Otherwise the question makes no sense. The fact that it won't change a lot, is immaterial since the question addresses the super-anal audience anyway. Actually, they mean that sugar has higher temperature and less thermal capacity. So, it will reduce the temparture less than milk. That is their point, I believe. | |
