How Much Is 1.5 Teaspoons of Corn Syrup in Ounces?
1.5 teaspoons of corn syrup weighs 0.36 oz. This is based on corn syrup having a density of 328g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.5 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 teaspoons of corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon of corn syrup = 6.83g
- 1.5 × 6.83 = 10.25g
- Convert grams to ounces: 10.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.36 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like corn syrup are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring spoon first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
