About Milk
Milk is mostly water with milk solids dissolved in it, so its weight per cup is very close to water at 240 grams. Whole, low-fat and skim milk all weigh almost the same per cup, so the same conversion works for all of them in everyday recipes.

Measuring Milk in spoons
Milk is a liquid, so fill the measuring spoon to the brim and level it by eye, without letting it spill over. Measuring spoons are more accurate than a cup for small amounts of milk, because a small error in a cup is a large error in a sauce.
Spoon amounts for Milk
One tablespoon of milk weighs 15 grams and one teaspoon weighs 5 grams. These values are derived from the same grams-per-cup value used on this page, so they agree with the cup chart above; they are not separate measurements.
| Spoons | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1 teaspoon | 5 grams |
| 1 tablespoon | 15 grams |
| 2 tablespoons | 30 grams |
| 3 tablespoons | 45 grams |
| 1/4 cup | 60 grams |
For amounts smaller than a teaspoon, or for baking where a few grams matter, weigh the ingredient instead of spooning it. Spoons are best for everyday cooking, where a gram or two either way changes nothing.
