Ingredients
1 cup water 1/4 cup sugar The basic formula is four parts water to 1 part sugar by volume, you can adjust the recipe to make just the right amount to fill your feeder(s) as long as the proportions remain the same. Bring the water to a boil and add the sugar while stiRing constantly. When the water returns to a boil remove the pan from the stove, cover and let cool. The boiling water not only dissolves the sugar rapidly but also assures that the nectar is sterile. Excess nectar may be stored in the refrigerator for several days. Feeders should be refilled at least once a week and more often in very warm weather and should be thoroughly washed before each refilling with hot water to make the nectar last longer. If the nectar is cloudy it's time to refill the feeder. All the feeders we sell are colored to attract hummingbirds and adding red food coloring to the nectar is not necessary and may be harmful. source: http://www.feed-store.com/hummfeeders.html |
