Boiling water is simple. You heat it until it violently bubbles. That’s it. You get hot water with steam escaping—like a dragon’s burp.
But here’s the kicker: boiling does kill germs. Yay! But it does not remove dirt, chemicals, or heavy metals. They stay in the pot, swimming around like unwanted party guests.
So, boiling water is great for making tea. But for pure H₂O? Not quite. You’re just cooking the water, not purifying it.
