any branches used even from the shop should be sterilized first

You could put it in the freezer over night.

clean it in a 1/10 bleach solution and then cook it in the oven if it fits and just rinse it after what youve done!

I always get branches and rocks from the beach and I tend to give them a good scrub with luke warm water and a scourer to get of any crud and then boil them. I find it easiest to put them in the sink and pour a good few kettles of boiling water of whatever I'm sterilising. Thats always worked for me but I know other people bake them and stuff....
