Make Your Own Hummingbird Food

If you are like we are, we have several hummingbird feeders around our yard. Yes, you can buy the hummingbird food but this get costly an there is not much in the packages. I labeled a pitcher to keep in the refrigerator with "homemade hummingbird food" This is so much cheaper then the boughten kind.

Bring 4 cups water to a boil and stir in 1 cup sugar. Stir to dissolve. When cool, pour into the pitcher and refrigerate until needed. As I refill the feeders, I make another batch for the next time. You do not need to add food coloring. In fact, I understand it is not good for the little hummingbirds.
