Only you know how much you should make – take into consideration the size of your feeder and how quickly the birds go through it – it can only store for so long.  Here's a simple chart to make the math easier:  1 cup sugar to 4 cups water 3/4 cup sugar to 3 cups water 1/2 cup sugar to 2 cups water Bring the mixture to a boil and then turn the heat off, stirring all the while. The sugar should dissolve entirely into clear sugar water. And don't keep it boiling – that changes the water to sugar ratio through evaporation. Don't use a sugar substitute – your hummingbirds do not need to go on a diet. They burn so much energy every day fluttering their wings at breakneck speeds that sugar is necessary. So only use plain, white sugar – not brown, not a sugar substitute, and definitely not gelatin. Cover the pan and allow the solution to reach room temperature. If you put it into your feeder warm or hot, the sugar may crystallize.
