Milk in tea

I have no way of measuring liquids so I never have any idea about how much milk I add when I'm cooking or even just having a cup of tea.

Could anyone describe 1fl.oz in a visual way?

1 fl. oz = 1 shot (e.g. a shot of whiskey)That's the easiest visual for me anyway :)

it is about 3 standard tablespoons -- the smaller spoons you get a silverware setting

When I googled this I found the following:

3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons = 1 fluid ounce

Hope that helps.  Thanks for asking... I learned something.

interesting...I have a digital scale in my kitchen, so the next time I put 2 table spoons of my fat free 1/2 & 1/2 in for my morning cuppa...I'll weigh how many grams it is so we have 2 tblsp/1 fl ounce,  also in gram form!

I usually say I'm putting 50 mls of milk, just to be on the safe side.

Store some milk in any measurd container and see how many cups of tea you drink uses up that amount of milk?  that way you do not have to adjust the way you like your tea.  Just log in the amount you used that day.   After a while you will notice if it is a similar amount you use when not at home and cannot measure.  If you do not have a mesuring cup just use some thing that you know is a certin amount of ounces. Say buy a 8 or 12 oz bottle of juice, flavoured water,etc (usually comes in clear bottles making it easy to see the level of liquid on the outside.) mark its level(marker,tape. ) Once empty fill it with water (or milk in this case) to that line, and use that to figure out different approximate measures with other containers. 

Lots of very helpful responses, thanks :o)

about 30 grams is 2 tablespoons of my  FF 1/2 & 1/2...hope it helps!

This may be a silly question, but couldn't you just buy a measuring cup?
