I like to combine just 2 cups of the water with sugar and heat to dissolve, then I add the other 2 cups of room temperature water so it doesn't take so long to cool. Kids especially love to help with this. If they're too young, I would just allow them to measure the water & sugar, add the food coloring, and let them pour the food into the feeder.

How To Make hummingbird food

    Heat water with sugar, stir until dissolved. Add red food coloring. Allow to cool before adding to feeder. I like to heat just 2 cups of water with the sugar and stir until dissolved. Then add the remaining 2 cups of water (room temperature or cool) to help cool it quicker.
