• How many grams in a tablespoon of honey?
  Roughly 21 g for a level tablespoon, give or take depending on temperature — cold honey clings to the spoon and reads heavy, while warm honey pours level and runs closer to the figure. For a salad dressing where 1 tablespoon honey balances 2 tablespoons vinegar, the difference between cold and warm-poured honey is enough to taste in the finished bowl.
• How much honey is in a typical drizzle over toast or yogurt?
  Most people pour 1 to 1.5 tablespoons — call it 21-32 g — when drizzling honey over yogurt, oatmeal, or buttered toast. A spoonful straight from the jar without leveling tends to overshoot, since honey keeps flowing after you stop tilting. If you're tracking sweetness in a marinade or tea blend, measure into a small bowl first.
• How do I measure honey for a marinade without it sticking everywhere?
  Coat the tablespoon with a thin film of neutral oil, or use the same spoon you've already used for oil in the marinade. The honey releases in one piece instead of leaving 2-3 g behind on the metal. For salty-sweet marinades like teriyaki or honey-soy, that residue is the difference between balanced and slightly underdone.
