Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.71g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 72 teaspoons of coconut milk
  2. 1 teaspoon of coconut milk = 4.71g
  3. 72 × 4.71 = 339g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 339 ÷ 28.3495 = 11.96 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
