What causes the energy transfer in a cup of hot cocoa when cold milk is added?

The energy transfer is due to collision of the particles and or molecules. Cold milk has particles with less average kinetic energy. Hot cocoa has particles with a higher average kinetic energy. When mixed the particles collide and some transfer of KE takes place until they have a new average KE which is between that of the 2 separate substances. This means that the new temperature will be 'warm' or between the 2 original temperatures.
