Formula and Step-by-Step

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

Start with 2 teaspoons of water
1 teaspoon of water = 4.93g
2 × 4.93 = 9.86g
Convert grams to ounces: 9.86 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.35 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.

Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. 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?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

How do I measure water accurately? expand_more

For the most accurate results, weigh water on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.

Can I use the same conversion for water at different temperatures? expand_more

Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of water changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
