---- This could be dependent on the climate where you live ----

What works best for me, and pretty much everyone I know, is to soak it in a small glass of water for about 30 seconds. If your reed is too open or hard and you think its because you soaked it too much, do long tones (all loud), scales or whatever warm-up you like without too much care on the sound for about 10 minutes. The reed will "settle in" to its optimal behaviour.

The climate here is similar to Ann-Arbor Michigan.
