| Standard (1×) | 226.8g (8 oz) | ⅔ cup | 157.8 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 340.2g (12 oz) | 1 cup | 236.7 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 453.6g (16 oz) | 1 ⅓ cups | 315.6 mL |

Measuring 8 oz of Honey in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of honey weighs 340g when measured poured liquid, 8 Ounces (226.8g) translates to 0.67 US cups (⅔ cup). By contrast, using the creamed / spun honey measure (345g/cup — a 5g per-cup shift), 8 oz occupies ⅔ cup (0.66 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅔ cup (10.67 tablespoons total) using poured liquid technique. Coat the measuring cup with a thin wipe of neutral oil or non-stick spray so viscous honey slides out cleanly without leaving residue behind.
