I'm still confused about soaking rice and nuts. I want to make rice/almond milk and soak first. I have read about soaking at 113-131 F for 7 hours, etc. When soaking,should the water be kept hot the whole time or just initially? Does it sit out in a room or in the fridge? Would it make since to put in a rice cooker on just the warm setting for 7 hours?

Thanks.
