Which way thermal energy will flow when you hold a cup with hot drink in your hands?

It depends whether or not what you hold it with is warmer or cooler than the iced tea. In most cases it will probably be held in our hand which is likely to be warmer than the iced tea and so the thermal energy will flow from your hand, through the glass and then into the iced tea - warming it up.
If whatever you are holding it with is colder then the thermal energy will move from the iced tea to the object with which you are holding it and the tea will cool down even more.

Which way thermal energy will flow when hold a cup with a hot drink in your hand?
Some flows into your hands by conduction, some is lost to the surrounding air by convection
The flow of thermal energy?
the flow of thermal energy
Why will heat not flow from an ice cube to a hot drink?
Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another. Heat always moves from warm objects to cool objects, not cool objects to warm objects.
Thermal energy flows from what to what?
Higher temperature to lower temperature. Thermal energy will always flow down the energy gradient.
When does thermal energy cease to move from one object to another?
When they are in thermal contact and their temperatures are the same there is no NET flow of energy. If the objects are both thermally insulated there will be no flow of energy at all.

In which way does thermal energy flow?
In Parallel Lines
When have a hot and cold substance which direction does thermal energy flow?
It will flow to the cold substance

it doesnt i dont think.
