How ¼ cup of vinegar works out
One US cup of vinegar weighs 239 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 239 × 0.25 = 59.8 g. In the other direction, 59.8 g of vinegar divided by 239 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of vinegar (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 63.1 g.
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.
