because there were ice cubes in the cup, and the metal's excellent thermal conductivity made the sensation in his palm exceptionally cold.
Kilian was a man who had seen a lot, and he quickly realized that there was ice in the cup.
He carefully took a sip, and the liquid, with its unique sweet and sour taste of milk and fruit juice, was refreshing. The slightly cool taste confirmed Kilian's suspicion that there was indeed ice in the drink.
In 17th century Europe, although commoners could not enjoy cold drinks, among the nobility, they were not uncommon.
As early as the 16th century, the courts in countries like France and Italy had begun enjoying chilled wine, chilled fruit juice, or a chilled drink called "Xia Erxin."
