Hummingbird Nectar Recipe

Here is our thoroughly-tested, much-applauded hummingbird nectar recipe (We actually have not been applauded, but have had no complaints.)

Mix 3 parts of water with 1 part of normal white sugar in a saucepan. Heat and stir until all the sugar dissolves. Let it cool completely and pour into the feeder.

It’s that easy. The white sugar is great for them and is much cheaper than the store-bought nectar that they sell. You can leave it colorless or add a little food coloring.

A few important items:

Never use Sweet ‘n Low or Equal. These guys need the real thing.

No honey, brown sugar, etc. Only white sugar.
