Also, I don't know if it varies around the world but here in the UK a teaspoon is actually just under 4g - I mean, ymmv but it's probably safer to go with tablespoons which are around 15g per a heaped spoonful.

Personally? I'd weigh the stuff with scales - I find this spoon nonsense a bit too vague imo.
I get that not everyone can be exact, or have access to scales but if you really want this to succeed it's better to use it in excess than not enough and have it go balls up.
But it all depends on density....

A teaspoon is about 5ml.

1ml of water is 1g
But 1ml of SN is 2g.

So a tablespoon (or 3 teaspoons) of SN should be about right.

But yes, a scales is always the better option....

https://www.simetric.co.uk/si_kitchen.htm for anyone wondering about conversions.
Btw density isn't the issue here - SN is the same density as table salt (sodium chloride) and their only difference is molar mass.


Here's a converter for salt - it should also work for SN. You'll notice there's barely any difference between measurements for sucrose (sugar) and table salt - even though their densities are very different, as are their molar masses.
