I don;t think you can because in rain water there is sand and chamicals, if you boil it down you are only killing harmful bacterical and that's it. So i do not think you can boil rain water for drinking water.

Why is boiling the safest method to purify water?

With any chemical water purification methods some few pathogens may survive in the water. Boiling will kill all the pathogens. One thing that water purification chemicals or boiling cannot do is remove any toxic chemicals that may have gotten into the water, such as medications, illegal drugs, caffeine, or toxic chemicals from a chemical plant. If you want to purify water by boiling, or any other means, be sure to filter it first of any larger particles that may float in it.
