Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 340g/cup = cups

Start with 3 ounces of honey
Convert ounces to grams: 3 × 28.35 = 85.05g
1 cup of honey = 340g
85.05g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.25 cups

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.
