Understanding Maple Syrup Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
Converting 1 us cup to metric cup is a direct volume conversion. One us cup equals 236.59ml, and one metric cup equals 250ml. So 1 us cup (236.59ml) equals 0.9 metric cup.
Measurement Tip
Measure maple syrup in a liquid measuring cup (the kind with a spout) placed on a flat surface. Read the measurement at eye level, looking at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). For sticky liquids like honey, lightly coat the measuring cup with oil first to help it slide out easily.
