In Japanese, adjectives normally come before the noun they describe.

• 寒い朝 = cold morning
• 温かいお茶 = warm tea

So 寒い 朝 is just the normal Japanese word order for a cold morning or cold mornings.

は marks the topic of the sentence.

So 寒い朝は means something like:

• as for cold mornings...
• on cold mornings...
• when the morning is cold...

It sets the scene for what follows. The sentence is telling you what happens or what someone does in that situation.

Japanese very often leaves out the subject when it is obvious from context.

So even though English might say:

• I drink warm tea on cold mornings

Japanese can simply say:

• 寒い朝は温かいお茶を飲みます。

The listener usually understands who the subject is from the situation. It could mean I drink, we drink, or even a general one drinks, depending on context.

を marks the direct object of the verb—the thing being acted on.

Here:

• お茶 = tea
• 飲みます = drink

So お茶を飲みます means drink tea.

A simple breakdown:

• 温かいお茶 = warm tea
• 温かいお茶を = warm tea as the object
• 温かいお茶を飲みます = drink warm tea

Japanese sentences usually place the verb at the end.

So the basic pattern here is:

• [time/topic] + [object] + [verb]

In this sentence:

• 寒い朝は = on cold mornings
• 温かいお茶を = warm tea
• 飲みます = drink

This verb-final order is one of the biggest differences from English.

飲みます is the polite form of the verb.
飲む is the plain/dictionary form.

Both can mean drink, but the tone is different:

• 飲む = plain, casual
• 飲みます = polite

In many beginner examples, ます-form is used because it is polite and common in basic conversation.

Also, 飲みます here is non-past, which can mean:

• a habitual action: drink
• a future action: will drink

In this sentence, it is most naturally understood as a habit: drink warm tea on cold mornings.

It can function as either, depending on context.

Japanese nouns usually do not change form for singular vs. plural the way English nouns do. So 朝 can mean:

• morning
• mornings

In this sentence, because the statement sounds habitual or general, English often translates it as on cold mornings.

Japanese does not always need a preposition where English does.

English says:

• in the morning
• on cold mornings

Japanese often expresses that idea just with the time expression itself, sometimes followed by a particle like は.

So:

• 寒い朝は naturally gives the sense of on cold mornings or as for cold mornings

You do not need a separate word exactly matching on here.

Both relate to temperature, but they are not exactly the same.

• 温かい = warm
• 熱い = hot

So:

• 温かいお茶 = warm tea
• 熱いお茶 = hot tea

If the meaning shown to you is warm tea, then 温かい is the correct word.
If the tea were very hot, 熱い would be more natural.

The お in お茶 is an honorific/polite prefix. It often appears with certain common words.

• 茶 = tea
• お茶 = tea, in the normal polite everyday form

In real Japanese, お茶 is much more common than 茶 by itself in ordinary conversation. So learners should usually memorize お茶 as the standard word.

They are adjectives, specifically い-adjectives.

• 寒い = cold
• 温かい = warm

A key Japanese pattern is that い-adjectives can directly modify nouns:

• 寒い朝 = cold morning
• 温かいお茶 = warm tea

This is different from English only in word order, not in function. They are describing the nouns that come after them.
