A simple and effective recipe to create a nourishing nectar for hummingbirds, ensuring their health and happiness.
Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan.
Use filtered water to ensure the nectar is free from impurities.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Avoid boiling the mixture for too long to prevent caramelization.
Allow the nectar to cool completely to room temperature.
Cooling the nectar prevents harm to the hummingbirds.
Fill your hummingbird feeder with the cooled nectar.
Use a funnel to pour the nectar into the feeder without spilling.
Store any remaining nectar in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Label the container with the preparation date to track freshness.
