To make hummingbird food, you'll need the following ingredients:

Ingredients: 1. White granulated sugar - 1 cup 2. Water - 4 cups 3. Red food coloring (optional) - a few drops 4. Hummingbird feeder

1. Start by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot.

2. Once the water is boiling, add 1 cup of white granulated sugar to the pot.

3. Stir the sugar until it completely dissolves in the water. This will create a simple sugar solution.

4. Allow the sugar water solution to cool to room temperature. You can speed up the cooling process by placing it in the refrigerator for a while.

5. If desired, you can add a few drops of red food coloring to the solution. The red color attracts hummingbirds as they are naturally drawn to bright colors.

6. Carefully pour the sugar water into a clean hummingbird feeder.

7. Hang the feeder in your garden or yard, preferably in a shaded area, as hummingbirds prefer to feed in a cool and shaded spot.

8. Check the feeder regularly to ensure it's clean and the food hasn't spoiled. Hummingbird food can ferment in hot weather, so it's essential to replace it every 2-3 days in warm climates or as needed.
