Why honey has its own cups-to-grams number
Honey is much denser than water, so a cup of honey weighs far more than a cup of milk. That also means 8 fluid ounces of honey is not 8 ounces on a scale. Because it clings to cups and spoons, weighing honey is often more accurate than measuring it by volume.

How to measure honey for this conversion
- Lightly oil the measuring cup or spoon first, so the honey slides out instead of sticking.
- Easiest of all: set the mixing bowl on a scale, tare it, and pour the honey in by weight.
- Crystallized honey won’t level in a cup. Warm the jar gently in a bowl of warm water until it’s liquid again.
- Use a liquid measuring cup for larger amounts and read it at eye level.
