The invention relates to a method for sterilizing liquids, wherein quantities of liquid flowing through at least one reaction chamber are irradiated by at least one UV lamp and are removed after irradiation. The UV lamp continues to be operated for a period Δt1 after removal of the quantity of liquid. The invention further relates to a liquid sterilization device (1) comprising at least one UV lamp (2) and at least one reaction chamber (4) through which the liquid to be sterilized flows as well as a tap (10) for removing quantities of liquid. A control and/or regulation device (3) is connected to the tap (10) and to the UV lamp (2) and continues to operate the UV lamp (2) for a period Δt1 once the tap (10) is switched off.
