How to do it without a measuring cup

Instead of a measuring cup, you can use different glasses and thus measure the "cl" very precisely.

  • On some glasses you will find a line with an indication of how much is in the glass up to this line. For example, there can be 2 cl for a small shot glass or 0.4 l for a larger beer glass and 0.25 l for a wine glass.
  • Take a good look at your glasses. Sometimes you only see it when you hold the glass up to the light.
  • However, if there is nothing on your glasses, then simply use the following knowledge as a guide: Assuming that the glasses are not filled to the brim, 2 cl and fit into a small shot glass Large 4 cl. Shot glasses should therefore always be sufficient for measuring, because once the information is given in "cl", there will probably not be much more of this liquid.
  • Alternatively, there might still be measuring spoons or tablespoons and teaspoons available at all. With a tablespoon you can add about 1.5 cl or with a teaspoon approx. Measure out 0.5 cl.

So you will surely succeed in any cooking or baking recipe and of course all cocktails even without a measuring cup.
