Latent heat of Solution?

when you dissolve sugar in tea, does the temperature of the solute drop due to dissolution?
if not, why not?
What temperature is the sugar when you put it in? if not, why not?
Assuming it is colder than the tea, then yes, once dissolved it will reduce the overall temperature of the tea, the overall temperature of the whole being an weighted aggregate of the separate two temperatures of the original materials.

sorry should be clear- assuming both solute and solvent are the same temperature when the salt/sugar/a.n.other actually dissolves, does the action of dissolution release, or require energy. Assuming it is colder than the tea, then yes, once dissolved it will reduce the overall temperature of the tea, the overall temperature of the whole being an weighted aggregate of the separate two temperatures of the original materials.
not interested in putting water on things like slaked lime- purely on the acction of dissolving stuff.
