Instructions
The ratio for hummingbird water is one part sugar to four parts water.
Measure out 4 cups of water in your saucepan. Set on medium heat.
Measure out 1 cup of granulated white sugar and set to the side.
Get the water JUST to a boil, you don't want too much evaporation as you do want it to be an even mix. This will be their primary food source, so you want it to be right!
Remove from the heat and pour in the sugar.
Stir it completely, make sure it is all dissolved.
Let it sit till is is cooled down and pour it into a glass bottle to store.
Store in the fridge, it will keep for a long time. You won't be keeping it too long as the hummers will eat a LOT!
