1 tsp vanilla extract in grams
1 tsp of vanilla extract = 4.33 grams · 4.93 ml · 0.15 oz
That is one teaspoon of vanilla extract, filled to the rim rather than domed. A full US cup of vanilla extract weighs 208 g and holds 48 teaspoons, so 1 tsp comes to 4.33 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 208 g per US cup (236.6 ml), poured level rather than to the brim. Last reviewed .
How 1 tsp of vanilla extract works out
A US teaspoon is 1/48 of a cup, a third of a tablespoon, so take the weight of a cup of vanilla extract and multiply: 208 × 0.021 = 4.33 g. By volume that is 4.93 ml, the same in the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.
Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon holds 20 ml, not 15, though Australian teaspoons are the same 5 ml as everywhere else. Heaped spoons are not a measure at all; a heaped spoonful can hold half as much again.
Tip: Add vanilla to cooled or off-heat mixtures where possible — its delicate aroma compounds are volatile and cook off under prolonged high heat.
