How ⅓ cup of milk works out
One US cup of milk weighs 240 grams, so multiply by 0.333 to get a third of a cup: 240 × 0.333 = 80 g. In the other direction, 80 g of milk divided by 240 brings you back to ⅓ cup.
If you have no scales, ⅓ cup is 5.333 level tablespoons of milk (16 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 84.5 g.
Tip: Measure milk in a clear liquid measuring cup at eye level rather than a dry cup, so you read the meniscus accurately.
