A level full US tablespoon of Borax will saturate an 8 ounce cup of distilled water at room temperature if you don't happen to have a magnetic stirrer handy. If there is any undissolved particles left at the bottom, just filter them out with a coffee filter or similar. This will eliminate the potential for the hard crystals to develop later and you have a saturated solution of Borax now and don't have to heat the water.

If you end up using this new topical method instead of drinking it, this is the way to go. Actually, it's also a good method to use for Ted's internal borax remedy! Perfectly dissolved borax.
P.S. Make sure to buy good stirring magnets as well as the stirrer from a science store. Most magnetic stirrers don't come with magnets or if they do, they are cheap and start to crack after a few uses in my experience.
