1cuprefined white granulated sugar(regular table sugar)
Instructions
Mix sugar into boiling water until dissolved.
Allow sugar water to cool and fill feeder.
Hang your hummingbird feeder outside.
Notes
DO NOT add red dye or food coloring as this may harm the birds and is not necessary to attract the hummingbirds. DO NOT substitute honey, corn syrup, raw sugar, brown sugar, confectionary sugar, or artificial sweeteners. Always start with regular table sugar (refined white sugar).Extra sugar water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.Thoroughly clean feeders with soap and water before filling them again to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.You will always use 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. For instance, in my photos, I am filling a very small mason jar hummingbird feeder, so I only used ¼ cup sugar to 1 cup water.
