they don't combine as per se.

water molecule arranges it self such that it forms several hydrogen bonds with sucrose's OH's. This interaction is strong enough to break the previous sucrose-sucrose interaction.

Molecular wise or naked eye wise?

naked eye wise, you can just do this experiment yourself.

molecular wise shouldn't be too hard either. if you really need, i can draw it in paint or something.

hydrogen bonds form between water and OH's of sucrose
