Make your own Hummingbird Food quickly and easily with just 2 ingredients!
Heat water and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved.
Do not add red food coloring.
Fill your clean hummingbird feeders once the sugar water is completely cooled.
Extra sugar water can be stored in the refrigerator.
We have found the perfect amount of Hummingbird Food to make for our feeder is 3/4 cup of sugar and 3 cups of water. That is the perfect amount so it fills the feeder and we don't have leftover syrup to be stored.
The ratio is 1 part sugar to 4 parts water:
1/4 cup sugar + 1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar + 2 cups water
3/4 cup sugar + 3 cups water
1 cup sugar + 4 cups water
