Vanilla essence is a synthetic, alcohol-free vanilla flavouring made with water, glycerin, and vanillin. One metric cup (250 ml) of vanilla essence weighs about 230 grams or 8.11 ounces, slightly heavier than vanilla extract thanks to its water base. Most recipes call for it by the teaspoon, where 1 tsp weighs around 4.6 grams.

Recipes often list vanilla essence in teaspoons, but bottles label volume in millilitres or fluid ounces. This page converts between teaspoons, grams, millilitres, and cups so you can hit the right amount with whatever you have on hand.
