How Vanilla Extract Converter Works?
The Vanilla Extract Converter works by dividing grams of vanilla extract by 4.33 g per US teaspoon. Pure vanilla extract contains at least 35% alcohol, which makes the extract lighter than water.
Pick pure or imitation
Pure and imitation vanilla share about the same density and spoon weight.
Enter grams
Type the weight, such as 4 g for a batch of cookies.
Measure over a cup
Pour over a small cup, not the bowl, so a spill does not overflavour the batter.
Vanilla Extract Converter Formula
The Vanilla Extract Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of vanilla extract ÷ 4.33.
tsp = g ÷ 4.33 | 1 tbsp = 12.99 g | density ≈ 0.88 g/mL
- 4 g of vanilla extract ÷ 4.33 = 0.92 tsp, about 1 tsp.
- 10 g of vanilla extract ÷ 4.33 = 2.31 tsp, about 2 ⅓ tsp.
- 1 ½ tsp of vanilla extract = 6.5 g.

What is Vanilla Extract Converter?
The Vanilla Extract Converter is a calculator that converts grams of vanilla extract into teaspoons. Pure vanilla extract is vanilla beans steeped in alcohol and water.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standard requires 13.35 oz of vanilla beans per gallon (100 g per litre) and at least 35% alcohol. Alcohol lowers the density to about 0.88 g/mL. Pastry recipes list vanilla in grams, and the converter turns those amounts into spoons.
