Warm or cold?

So I take creatine daily and have been wondering lately if there would be a difference in what it did for me if I took it with something warm instead of cold. Does anyone know?

    Creatine degrades into creatinine faster at higher temperatures and/or lower ph levels (when in liquid form). At the very least it will take a couple of hours for any noticable amount of degradation to occur, so if you're mixing it with some liquid and ingesting it straight away there will be no difference.

    Right now I blend mine with 8 oz cold milk, tbs choc syrup, 1 scoop whey protein and 1/4 cup granola/red berry pieces. I was thinking about mixing it with a tea or coffee. Just trying to see which one would be better to take it with.
