things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of honey?
  About 7 g for a level teaspoon. That figure lines up with the standard single-serve honey packet at most cafés and hotel breakfast bars, which is why nutrition labels and tea recipes treat 1 packet and 1 teaspoon as interchangeable. Honey sticks run smaller — about 5 g — because they're sized for one cup of tea on the lighter side.
• Is one teaspoon of honey enough to sweeten a cup of tea?
  For most people, yes. Seven grams of honey delivers noticeable sweetness without overpowering green or herbal teas, and it dissolves quickly once the water drops below boiling. Black tea drinkers who take two sugars usually want closer to 1.5-2 teaspoons of honey, since honey reads slightly less sweet by the spoonful than granulated sugar does.
• How do I measure a teaspoon of honey for a vinaigrette accent?
  Spoon it directly into the bowl with the oil and acid already in place — the oil coating the spoon helps the honey slide off in one piece. For dressings that call for just a teaspoon to round out the acidity, like a lemon-shallot vinaigrette, leveling matters: an unleveled teaspoon can run 9-10 g and tip the dressing toward sweet.
