Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 244g/cup × 236.588 = milliliters

Start with 5 ounces of vanilla extract
Convert ounces to grams: 5 × 28.35 = 141.75g
1 cup of vanilla extract = 244g
141.75g ÷ 244g/cup = 0.58 cups × 236.588 = 137.44 milliliters

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.
