2 tablespoons of honey in grams
2 tablespoons of honey ≈ 42.5 grams

Why this number is approximate
Much heavier than water per unit volume. Oil the measuring cup first and it will slide out cleanly.

Weigh it if you can
Volume measures are convenient but imprecise — the same cup can hold noticeably different amounts depending on how the ingredient is packed, how humid the room is, and whether it was sifted. A digital kitchen scale removes the variable entirely, which is why professional and European recipes give weights. If you bake regularly, a scale is the cheapest accuracy upgrade available.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 2 tablespoons of honey?
About 42.5 grams, or 1.5 ounces.
How many grams in a cup of honey?
Roughly 340 grams per US cup.
Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?
No. A US customary cup is 236.6 ml; a metric cup — used in Australia, New Zealand and much of Europe — is 250 ml, about 6% larger. An imperial cup, still seen in older British recipes, is 284 ml. For a cup of honey that is a difference of roughly 19.3 g between US and metric.
Should I sift before or after measuring?
It matters, and recipes are often ambiguous. "1 cup sifted flour" means sift first, then measure — which gives less flour than "1 cup flour, sifted", where you measure first. When in doubt, weigh.
