The exact number of sugar cubes that can be dissolved in cold water depends on the size of the sugar cubes and the volume of water, but generally speaking, you can dissolve 1 sugar cube per 1 ounce of cold water. Keep in mind that the solubility of sugar decreases as the water temperature decreases.
Sugar cubes would dissolve faster when crushed rather than left whole, regardless of whether the water used is hot or cold. Crushing the sugar cubes increases the surface area of the sugar particles exposed to the water, allowing for quicker dissolution.
Yes, temperature does affect the solubility of sugar in water. Generally, sugar dissolves more easily in hot water than in cold water because the increased kinetic energy at higher temperatures helps to break down the bonds between sugar molecules.
Absinthe is poured over sugar cubes to sweeten the drink and help balance the bitter taste of the alcohol. The sugar cubes are usually placed on a slotted spoon atop the glass, and cold water is then slowly dripped over the sugar to dilute the absinthe and release its herbal flavors.

cold water or haot watter it don't matterAnswer:Using a measuring cup put one cup of water in a glass. Chill the glass in the fridge. Measure one teaspoon of sugar and put it in the glass. Immediately start stirring and have a friend time how long until the sugar is dissolved (you may have to stop stirring occasionally to see if sugar settles to the bottom of the glass). Repeat this with a cup of hot water. Which one dissolved quicker?
Because sugar is a soluble and it was already dissolved in the lemonade. You could evaporate the lemonade and get the sugar then, but you could've easily taken out the ice cubes already because they aren't dissolved yet and are solid still.

They will dissolve much quicker in warm or hot water than in cold water.

Ice cubes don't faster in cold water because the temparature of cold water is low, ice cubes melt faster in high temparature.
After the water cools the sugar will remain dissolved, although once all of the water is evaporated then the sugar will be left at the bottom of the glass. It's pretty fun to try with a clear glass or something. P.S. Sugar will dissolve in cold water too, it just takes more stirring.
