1 Fluid Ounces (US) = 6.00002 Teaspoons (US)
about 3
by the way I did the math on the pound of salt.
it's a bit over 1 1/2 cups 1.56
salt is heavier than water. I was wondering why someone asked that. now I know-for brine
Fluid ounces are more than dry ounces so don't listen to the girl above you. You would have to weigh it. If you don't have a kitchen scale, see if you can tell how many ounces are in the bottle of the spices. If it has the ounces then try to divide the # of ounces by 1/2 for the 1/2 ounces you need. For instance if it is a 8 ounce bottle divided by 1/2 = 16 servings in the bottle try to measure out 1/16 of the bottle. I know its hard but you can eyeball it.
That would be about one tablespoon of each of the cloves and ginger. 1/2 cup is 4 ounces. So 1/2 ounce would be 1/16 cup.1/16 cup is 1 tablespoon...
