Boiling milk is completely safe. When you boil milk, it will actually reduce the congesting quality that milk has when cold (although it's still probably best not to drink milk at all when you have a cold or are heavily congested).

It is true that if you add lemon (or lime) juice to milk when it is being boiled, it will curdle. In fact, this is how paneer, an Indian cheese, is made. However, milk will not curdle when you boil it without adding anything else.

After boiled milk cools there will be a thin layer of film on top of the milk. This is not harmful to drink, but may be removed according to taste.

One additional note: Keep an eye on your milk while boiling, and don't boil at too high a heat; milk can boil over easily and cause a big mess!
