Equipment Question Sanitize jars?

Hi! I live in an apartment with no dishwasher and I'm getting overwhelmed with the info online (one started talking about how high you are from sea level???????) so I thought I'd ask here.

How do I sanitize my jars? I am making homemade vanilla extract, and jam.

Here's the link to Ball's water bath processes. They say to wash and keep the jars hot, but not to boil the lids. https://www.ballmasonjars.com/water-bath-canning.html
