It's a great way to: Boiling water is a great way to make the water safe. That's how people have killed germs and parasites in water for the past hundreds of years, and it makes good coffee, tea, soup, and other hot drinks. The key is to have safe kettles or other containers for boiling the water... so that a person does not leach out chemicals from the containers into the water.
