8 Tablespoons to Teaspoons
8 tbsp = 24 tsp
= 118.3 ml | 4 fl oz | 0.5000 cups
Australia: 8 tbsp = 32 tsp (20 ml tablespoon)
Eight tablespoons equals 24 teaspoons, exactly 1/2 US cup (118.3 ml), or 4 fluid ounces. This is one of the most useful kitchen equivalents to memorise alongside 4 tbsp = 1/4 cup and 16 tbsp = 1 cup. It is the standard butter portion in many cookie recipes (1/2 cup = 1 stick US butter), the olive oil for a vinaigrette serving 4-6, or the cream cheese in a single-bowl cheesecake. The 1 stick butter equivalence makes 8 tablespoons one of the most-used quantities in US baking. In Australia, 8 of a 20 ml tablespoon is 160 ml (= 32 metric teaspoons), which is more than half a metric cup.
