How to make Bechamel sauce with hot milk

With a Bechamel sauce I was wondering if I heat up milk first & make the roux in separate pot do I take hot milk off the gas and mix in the Roux or is it best to keep milk heating and mix in the Roux

The milk doesn't need to be heated separately (unless you are infusing something into it). Just Make the roux and then slowly add cold milk to it.
