Formula and Step-by-Step

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

Start with 5 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract = 5.08g
5 × 5.08 = 25.42g
Convert grams to ounces: 25.42 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.90 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.
