Shake it repeatedly.

Agitation speeds dissolution by bringing fresh solvent into contact with the solute and removing the saturated boundary layer. (Increasing temperature and increasing surface area also speed dissolving; lowering pressure or refrigeration generally don't help — refrigeration usually slows it.)
