Solution

The temperature of ice is 0⁰ C or 273 K. Thus, when ice is kept in contact with another substance whose temperature is higher than 0⁰ C, heat is transferred from the substance to ice. This transfer of heat brings about the cooling of the substance.
Hence, when ice cubes are added to water, the water becomes cool because heat is transferred from water to ice.
