Morphology

sugar + honey + ice + tea

The constituents (sugar, honey, ice, tea) collectively evoke a sweet, pleasant beverage, so a learner who knows each word can plausibly infer a meaning related to sweetness or enjoyment. However, the string is a playful/colloquial stacking rather than a standard, conventional compound; its exact pragmatic use (including possible euphemistic or culture-specific senses) is not fully predictable, so it is only partially transparent.

Etymology

Sugar honey ice tea comes from the image of a cup of cold tea with sugar, honey and ice, a very pleasant drink. So people use it to say something is very 'sweet' or very 'enjoyable'.
