For those who want brown water, Alder cones are very potent and safe. I've been using them for a year now and it only takes about one cone to stain five gallons of water. I just put them in the dehydrator for a few days to cure out the bugs and other microlife. Oak and Maple leaves are also great, and now is the time to grab them.
Yes, a good hard boil will remove the tannins. Takes about a day of changing out the water and boiling again and again.
