How to remove a rendered template in MeteorJS?

I have added a template rendering it dynamically:

var myTemplate = Meteor.render(Meteor.template.foo);
document.body.appendChild(myTemplate);

Now I want to remove this template from DOM, but this template have a list of elements.

The Meteor render, use a documentFragment, so I can't reuse the myTemplate variable because it doesn't have the content anymore.

What is the correct way to remove the template element contents from DOM using MeteorJS?

Under the current rendering engine, I believe this will clean your injected template up satisfactorily if you've given the top level element in it the id myTemplate:

var thisNode = $('#myTemplate')[0];
Spark.finalize(thisNode);
$(thisNode).remove();

As you probably know, Spark is about to go away forever though, so this is only good for the time being. I suspect that just .removeing the element will be good enough in Blaze, but I can't really back that up with any evidence as I haven't made the switch yet...
