how do the rest of you make hummingbird water?

The last person who lived here clearly never bothered to make hummingbird water. No joy with what the label recommends, either. Does it need anything special, or is it just patience?

1 part plain white sugar to 4 parts water. That's the whole recipe. No honey, no brown or raw sugar, and skip the red dye, the feeder colour is enough to bring them in. Warm water just helps it dissolve. In hot weather change it every couple of days, it goes cloudy and starts fermenting quicker than you'd think.
