Final answer:

To build a 151 infused iced tea, generally, one would stir gently or shake vigorously to dissolve sugar, with stirring being most appropriate if the tea is cold. The term '151 pumps' is likely irrelevant here, not pertaining to the dissolution of sugar in tea.

Step-by-step explanation:

To build a 151 infused iced tea, one would typically stir gently or shake the mixture depending on the desired outcome. Since this is a question about the rate of dissolution, it aligns with how substances like sugar dissolve in a solvent such as tea. When considering the dissolution of sugar in iced tea, stirring gently can help integrate the sugar into the tea by increasing the contact between the sugar and the tea, which facilitates dissolution. Typically, tea must be stirred for a while to ensure that all the sugar dissolves, especially if the tea is cold since the rate of dissolution decreases with temperature.

In the context of a typical iced tea preparation, the suggestion to infuse with '151 pumps' doesn't apply to the dissolution principle and likely refers to the use of a very high-proof alcohol, which is not commonly part of the process for making non-alcoholic iced tea. So the most appropriate options would be either to stir gently or shake vigorously depending on whether the tea is being prepared in a glass or in a cocktail shaker.

If iced tea is being prepared in a laboratory setting, the process of dissolving a substance like sugar in a solvent is similar to that used in a science experiment where a solution is swirled until the solute dissolves. Additional solvent - in this case, more tea or water - would be added carefully to reach the desired amount, and the container would be sealed and inverted several times for complete mixing, similar to stirring.
