How to Convert Liquids from Grams to Teaspoons: Water, Honey, Vanilla and More
1 gram of water equals 0.2 teaspoons, and 1 gram of honey equals 0.14 teaspoons. Convert water, honey, vanilla extract, rice vinegar, milk and oil from grams to teaspoons.
1 gram (g) of water equals 0.2 teaspoons (tsp). One teaspoon of water weighs 4.93 g. Divide grams of water by 4.93 to get teaspoons, or multiply grams by 0.2 for a quick answer.
Thick liquids weigh more per teaspoon. One teaspoon of honey weighs 7.0 g, so 1 g of honey equals 0.14 tsp.
How to Convert Liquids from Grams to Teaspoons
To convert liquids from grams to teaspoons, divide the grams by the liquid’s density in grams per milliliter (g/mL), then divide by 4.93. One gram of water fills 1 milliliter (mL), so grams of water equal milliliters of water.
| Liquid | Density (g/mL) | 1 tsp = grams | 1 g = teaspoons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water | 1.00 | 4.93 g | 0.20 tsp |
| Rice vinegar | 1.01 | 4.98 g | 0.20 tsp |
| Whole milk | 1.03 | 5.08 g | 0.20 tsp |
| Vanilla extract | 0.95 | 4.68 g | 0.21 tsp |
| Soy sauce | 1.15 | 5.67 g | 0.18 tsp |
| Cooking oil | 0.92 | 4.53 g | 0.22 tsp |
| Maple syrup | 1.32 | 6.51 g | 0.15 tsp |
| Honey | 1.42 | 7.00 g | 0.14 tsp |
The liquid calculator converts any liquid with a custom density.

How Many Teaspoons Is 10 Grams of Liquid?
10 grams of water-based liquid is 2 teaspoons. Ten grams of honey is 1.43 tsp, 10 g of vanilla extract is 2.14 tsp and 10 g of oil is 2.21 tsp.
How to Convert Honey from Grams to Teaspoons
To convert honey from grams to teaspoons, divide the grams by 7.0. Honey has a density of 1.42 g/mL, the highest of common kitchen liquids.
| Honey (g) | Teaspoons | Tablespoons |
|---|---|---|
| 5 g | 0.71 tsp | 0.24 tbsp |
| 7 g | 1.00 tsp | 0.33 tbsp |
| 10 g | 1.43 tsp | 0.48 tbsp |
| 15 g | 2.14 tsp | 0.71 tbsp |
| 21 g | 3.00 tsp | 1.00 tbsp |
| 30 g | 4.29 tsp | 1.43 tbsp |
Coat the spoon with a thin film of oil before measuring honey. Oil stops 0.3–0.5 g of honey from sticking to the spoon. The honey calculator covers larger amounts.
How to Convert Vanilla Extract from Grams to Teaspoons
To convert vanilla extract from grams to teaspoons, divide the grams by 4.7. Pure vanilla extract contains at least 35% alcohol by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules, and alcohol lowers the density to 0.95 g/mL.
- 1 g vanilla extract = 0.21 tsp
- 2 g vanilla extract = 0.43 tsp
- 5 g vanilla extract = 1.07 tsp
How to Convert Rice Vinegar from Grams to Teaspoons
To convert rice vinegar from grams to teaspoons, divide the grams by 5.0. Rice vinegar is 95% water, so rice vinegar converts within 1% of water. Ten grams of rice vinegar equals 2 tsp.
Why Do Liquids Convert More Accurately Than Powders?
Liquids convert more accurately than powders, since liquids do not compress or trap air. A teaspoon of water weighs 4.93 g every time. A teaspoon of flour weighs 2.3–3.1 g, depending on packing.
Measure liquids at eye level with the spoon held flat. A domed meniscus adds 0.1–0.2 g per teaspoon.
