Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.71g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 1 teaspoon of coconut milk
1 teaspoon of coconut milk = 4.71g
1 × 4.71 = 4.71g
Convert grams to ounces: 4.71 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.17 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 spoon 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.

Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
