Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 5.08g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 12 teaspoons of milk
1 teaspoon of milk = 5.08g
12 × 5.08 = 61g
Convert grams to ounces: 61 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.15 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.

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.

What is an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
