How ½ cup of ground cloves works out
One US cup of ground cloves weighs 100 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 100 × 0.5 = 50 g. In the other direction, 50 g of ground cloves divided by 100 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of ground cloves (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 52.8 g.
Tip: Add ground cloves with a very light hand — even an extra pinch can turn a spice blend medicinal and bitter.
