¼ cup milk in grams
¼ cup of milk = 60 grams · 2.12 oz · 4 tbsp
That is a quarter cup, poured to the line and read at eye level. A full US cup of milk weighs 240 g, so ¼ cup comes to 60 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 240 g per US cup (236.6 ml), poured level rather than to the brim. Last reviewed .
How ¼ cup of milk works out
One US cup of milk weighs 240 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 240 × 0.25 = 60 g. In the other direction, 60 g of milk divided by 240 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of milk (12 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 63.4 g.
Tip: Measure milk in a clear liquid measuring cup at eye level rather than a dry cup, so you read the meniscus accurately.
