And most of all, solubility being a function of the temperature, if you lower it the excess sugar will leave the solution and cristallize.

    It takes time for that to happen and in the meantime you can have a gross oversaturated solution.

    Edit: not even oversaturated, would just take a long time for all that sugar to dissolve unless it's hot.
