The scattering of the light through the colloid is known as Tyndall effect.
The sugar solution is not a colloidal solution, the particles in the sugar solution are too small. In addition to that, the sugar solution is a true solution and light does not scatter in true solutions. So, a solution of sugar and water does not show Tyndall effect.
On the other hand, the mixture of water and milk show Tyndall effect. Since milk is a colloid, colloidal solution shows Tyndall effect as the particles are larger than the homogeneous mixture and smaller than the suspension.
