Hummingbird Food
homemade hummingbird nectar
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
Instructions
- Hummingbird food is made of one part sugar to four parts water.
- Combine the sugar and water and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Then pour into your feeder and hang in a prominent spot outside.
Notes
You do not need to boil the water. Tap water is fine.
I do not recommend adding red food dye, it’s not necessary and may not be healthy for the birds.
Do not use honey, corn syrup or powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar).
