It’s actually the opposite. The heat of a hot drink will make your body react by producing sweat. The hot drink does not have enough energy to significantly change your body temp, so the sweating will be a disproportionate response and in the end cool you down relatively quickly.

Cool drinks, your body will burn energy to warm it up in order to digest properly, this effort will warm you up in total.

Just look up “warm drinks make you feel cooler vice versa.”
