How ½ cup of vanilla extract works out
One US cup of vanilla extract weighs 208 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 208 × 0.5 = 104 g. In the other direction, 104 g of vanilla extract divided by 208 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of vanilla extract (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 110 g.
Tip: Add vanilla to cooled or off-heat mixtures where possible — its delicate aroma compounds are volatile and cook off under prolonged high heat.
