Millions of volunteers will battle high temperatures during the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics. Fortunately for them, the volunteers will be able to use traditional Chinese tea to cool themselves, thanks to the Chinese Traditional Medicine Association.

Starting last September, the Chinese Traditional Medicine Association began inviting experts to conduct research on brewing a tea that can cool the body.

The tea is made of traditional Chinese materials like honeysuckle, ebony, green tea, and citric acid.
