There will be far more icing sugar in a teaspoon than caster sugar, and even less if the sugar is granulated. This is simply because the larger particles of granulated leave a lot of air between them when stacked up.<br /><br />Weight is the only accurate way to measure something like this.Beermunsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564489130909572144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-37216253191503674852016-03-18T16:31:09.694+00:002016-03-18T16:31:09.694+00:001 heaped teaspoon of sugar = 5 grams approximately...1 heaped teaspoon of sugar = 5 grams approximately.

Seems to have worked. 10p on a gallon of rolla cola is neither here nor there.<br /><br />Interesting all them charts on sugar contents of different pops, though.<br /><br />I think if the label had sugar content by teaspoon rather than mg, punters might shun some brands in favour of others.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-78340894803959263722016-03-18T15:13:28.831+00:002016-03-18T15:13:28.831+00:00I was worried by the title, but I did a bit of res...I was worried by the title, but I did a bit of research and it turns out the Health Gestapo haven't arrested anyone for drinking coke.
