Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.93g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 12 teaspoons of water
1 teaspoon of water = 4.93g
12 × 4.93 = 59.15g
Convert grams to ounces: 59.15 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.09 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.
