Half and half: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of half and half weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of half and half in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup half and half | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 242 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 256 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 291 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 205 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

Half and half by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of half and half weighs about 15.1g, and one teaspoon about 5.04g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon half and half to grams = 15.1g
- 2 tablespoons half and half = 30.2g
- 3 tablespoons half and half = 45.4g
- 1 teaspoon half and half = 5.04g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of half and half is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 0.94 cups of half and half — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of half and half weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of half and half?

For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure half and half accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh half and half on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of half and half weighs about 242 grams (8.54 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts half and half and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: You can approximate half-and-half by mixing equal parts whole milk and heavy cream if your shop doesn't carry it.
