Homemade Hummingbird Nectar

     I saw a hummingbird at my empty feeder this morning. I felt bad seeing the tiny, hungry bird at my empty feeder, so I decided to refill it. I like to make hummingbird nectar with the simple ingredients I always have on hand versus buying it from the store. I thought creating this post would be an easy way for me to find back the recipe whenever I would need it. This recipe was found on the National Audubon Society website. Hopefully you find it helpful as well!

Ingredients/Materials:

• 1/4 cup refined white sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 1 cup boiling water
• Measuring cup
• Spoon
• Hummingbird feeder

Steps:

1. Fill a glass measuring cup with 1 cup of water. Put it in the microwave for about 2 minutes or until boiling.
2. Pour 1/4 cup granulated sugar into the boiling water and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Let the water and sugar mixture cool.
4. Pour it into your hummingbird feeder and hang outside.
5. Wait and watch for the hummingbirds to come!

    That's it! Super simple. Here is the link to the recipe from the National Audubon Society: https://www.audubon.org/news/how-make-hummingbird-nectar
