How does sugar affect the surface tension of water?

The surface tension of water is due to the hydrogen bonds contained in it. When sugar is added to it, the dissolution process occurs which leads to the breaking of the hydrogen bonds in water by the hydration energy generated by the interaction of sugar and water. Therefore sugar reduces the surface tension in water.

The effect was interpreted as a depletion of the solute molecules at the water - air interface ... Then, the surface tension increases above the surface tension of water (similar to sucrose solutions) for higher concentrations.
