Hi Lisa, often the tangzhong starter is mixed with cold liquid to provide a more lukewarm environment for the yeast, or it is allowed to cool to lukewarm or room temperature before mixing with the other ingredients. You can certainly allow it to cool to room temperature if you prefer to keep the temperature of your dough more predictable by using the DDT formula.
