1 tsp vinegar in grams
1 tsp of vinegar = 4.98 grams · 4.93 ml · 0.18 oz
That is one teaspoon of vinegar, filled to the rim rather than domed. A full US cup of vinegar weighs 239 g and holds 48 teaspoons, so 1 tsp comes to 4.98 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 239 g per US cup (236.6 ml), poured level rather than to the brim. Last reviewed .
How 1 tsp of vinegar works out
A US teaspoon is 1/48 of a cup, a third of a tablespoon, so take the weight of a cup of vinegar and multiply: 239 × 0.021 = 4.98 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: Standard vinegars sit around 5% acidity; if a recipe relies on the acid (for example to activate baking soda), don't substitute a much milder or stronger vinegar.
