How to convert tablespoons of milk to grams
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of milk weighs about 244 g, so one tablespoon is 15 g and 3 × 15 = 46 g.
Measure liquids in a clear jug at eye level. Thick dairy like yogurt or sour cream should be levelled in a dry cup.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 3 tablespoons of milk?
3 tablespoons of milk is 46 grams, based on 244 g per level US cup.
Is a tablespoon the same everywhere?
Almost. US and UK tablespoons hold about 15 ml and teaspoons about 5 ml. Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so use ¾ of an Australian tablespoon to match a US one.
Should I weigh milk or measure it by volume?
Measure liquids in a clear jug at eye level. Thick dairy like yogurt or sour cream should be levelled in a dry cup. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
