  2. 1 cup of coconut milk = 226g
  3. 3.6 × 226 = 813.6g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 813.6 ÷ 28.3495 = 28.70 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
