How many grams is a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract?
One teaspoon of vanilla extract weighs about 4.33 grams and one tablespoon is about 13 grams, so a quarter teaspoon comes out to roughly 1.08 grams. Vanilla extract is mostly alcohol and water, so it weighs a little less than plain water.
Small spoon amounts are where weighing has the biggest payoff: tiny errors compound in baking. If your scale reads in 1-gram steps you can measure vanilla extract directly. (For reference, one US cup is 208 g.)
