Reusing spore Syringes

What is the fastest, most efficient way to sterilise, store and reuse my spore syringe? Unfortunately, at the moment I only have one, which I've just used to inoculate some cakes. I now want to reuse it for a totally different strain.
I had a look at some posts with varying recommendations (commonly oriented around boiling water).
I have some rubbing alcohol - it is suitable/sufficient enough to suck up (I think that's the professional term) so alcohol, leave it a while, then squirt it out?
Also, once its sterilised, how do I store it?
Then, how do I reuse it? just suck up some prepared spore sauce (on a roll here), and then I'm good to go?
Thanks in advance for your support!

Generally, squirting boiling water in and out like 20 times works. Alcohol won't sterilize shit.

Roll them in foil, twist/fold shut the ends tightly, and pressure cook for 15mins @15psi. You can also place them in a quart jar with a filter lid setup of some kind. And then have another pint jar with a cup of water in it with a filter lid setup and pressure cook them both for 15mins @15psi then you have a sterile syringe and sterile water.

Thanks for your suggestion. The confusing thing here is that i've seen several posts suggesting boiling the needle for 20 minutes, then squirting it a few times. If just squirting it works, then the first part seems unnecessary?

Thanks, however unfortunately i'm working with simple cooking pots as I do't have a pressure cooker.

Depends on how risky you want to be. Boiling it first is definitely better.

Okay, I suppose as a noob I should take extra precautions! Haha
So I assume I pull the plunger out, boiling them, reassemble it, do a couple of squirts, and then I have an empty, sterilised syringe that is good to go? Sorry for being such a SUPER noob! But I suppose its like learning a language. Until I get to grips with the basics I'll need a translator!

I'd just fill it with water without removing the plunger fully and let it boil
