Measuring 25g of Water in the Kitchen

Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of water weighs 237g when measured poured liquid, 25 Grams (25g) translates to 0.11 US cups (1 tbsp + 2 tsp).

Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 tbsp + 2 tsp (1.69 tablespoons total) using poured liquid technique. Place a liquid measuring cup on a flat countertop and read the water meniscus at eye level. Standard water has a pure density of 1.00 g/mL, making 1 US cup exactly 237 grams (or 236.6g).
