Your Handy Guide to Water & Broth Measures
Ever stare at a recipe and wonder, how much is 1 quart of water in cups? Or need to make a quick batch of dashi but can't recall how much hondashi per cup of water? You're not alone! Kitchen conversions can be a real headache.
Let's clear it up. First, the basics: a quart of water is exactly 4 cups. So, if a recipe calls for a quart, just grab your trusty one-cup measure four times. Need more? A gallon of water is a whopping 16 cups. That’s a lot of hydration!
Moving to metrics? No problem. 2 litres of water in cups is roughly 8.5 cups. For smaller amounts, 500ml of water in cups is about 2.1 cups, and 200ml of water in cups is roughly 0.85 cups. And for all you bakers, 3/4 cup water is a standard measure, just three-quarters of your cup.
But what about weight? A cup of water in ounces is 8 fluid ounces. Easy.
Now, for the savory part: making dashi. The standard ratio is about 1 teaspoon of hondashi granules per cup of water for a perfectly balanced broth. So, for 15 cups of water, you’d use about 15 teaspoons.
