I´m guessing the ¨le¨in this sentence is ¨ it¨¨ (the sugar) , but I don´t understand why this verb is a reflexive. Puede alguien ayudame, por favor? Gracias.

The verb is not reflexive, it's pronominal.
Agregar (algo) a (algo or alguien)
Agregar azúcar al té
Verb= Agregar
Direct Object = Azúcar
Indirect Object = Té
Le is being used as a 3rd person singular indirect object pronoun (normally se, but it was changed to "le" to make it easy to pronounce). Le means to the (tea) in this case.

Thanks, I understand now. I should have parsed the sentence. Someday I'll get it. Changing "se" to "le" also threw me, though. - PeterRS, Jan 1, 2013
