    1) Insulate inner toilet tank. They sell kits for this, but they are hard to find. You could also purchase some rigid foam insulation and some good quality adhesive and make your own kit.

    2) Install an antisweat valve where you pipe hot water and cold water to a mixing valve and feed warm water to the toilet tank:

    B and K Industries 109-503RP Anti-Sweat Toilet Tank Valve - Amazon.com

    Questions? Let me know, OK?
