Conversion Formulas
To convert grams to teaspoons:
$$\text{tsp} = \frac{m_g}{\rho \times 5}$$
To convert teaspoons to grams:
$$m_g = \text{tsp} \times 5 \times \rho$$
Where $m_g$ is mass in grams, $\rho$ is density in $g/mL$, and $5$ is the milliliters per teaspoon. For example, one teaspoon of honey at $1.42\ g/mL$ weighs $1.42 \times 5 = 7.1\ g$.
Tablespoons relate to teaspoons by a factor of three: $1\ \text{tbsp} = 3\ \text{tsp}$.
