The Formula
cup = tsp ÷ 48
1 US cup = 8 fluid ounces = 48 teaspoons (since 1 fl oz = 6 tsp).

How to Convert Teaspoons to Cups

To convert US teaspoons to US cups, divide the number of teaspoons by 48. This is because one cup is defined as 8 fluid ounces, and each fluid ounce contains 6 teaspoons.

Step-by-Step Example

Let’s convert 96 teaspoons to cups:

1. Divide by 48: 96 ÷ 48 = 2
2. So 96 tsp equals 2 cups.

For a smaller amount, 1 tsp ÷ 48 = 0.02083 cup (about 1/48 cup).

When You’d Use Each Unit

Teaspoons are commonly used for small quantities of ingredients like spices, extracts, and leavening agents. Cups are used for larger volumes such as flour, sugar, milk, or water in cooking and baking. Converting between them is essential for scaling recipes up or down and for understanding measurements in different regions.
