Default Toilet tank sweating

I have a Kohler toilet tank in one of the bathrooms that sweats so much that
it forms small puddles on the tile floor.

This worries me because I fear it will eventually soak into the baseboard
and down to the subfloor and cause a moisture problem.
I can't spend all day running back and forth to dry it off.

I've been told that it is because the humidity is too high in my house and
that I should get a dehumidifyer. That is out of the question, I cannot
afford one.
Though there is a certain amount of humidity, it makes it easier on the
sinuses this time of year.

The water here is quite cold right now, and I would like a simple solution
to this problem.

Have any of you any suggestions that are at little or no cost?

TIA!

Common solution is to mix a little hot water into the supply with a
bit of creative plumbing.
