Logically, if you add something that is cold to an already hot substance, it can't get warmer because the substance added was cold. Therefore, the substance as a whole can only get cooler.

Like if you add ice to a hot glass of water, the substance as a whole will get cooler because the original substance was hot, and the substance added was cool.
