Explanation
Water is an excellent cooling agent because of its high specific heat. This means a large amount of heat is required to raise its temperature, and similarly a large amount of heat must be removed to cool it. Therefore, water does not heat up quickly and does not cool down quickly, which makes it a good cooling agent.
