You need to find out from your Rabbi how big he thinks a shiur is. There are many opinions.

I use a 1 oz shot glass or a little 2 oz measuring cup that I fill only half way.

I was told to fill one cheek with liquid and spit it into a glass and mark how much that is.

Do you have a little measuring cup from liquid medicine (like kids Tylenol)?

This was years ago so I don't know if I remember every detail but I think I was told to drink as much as I want with a bowl and spoon like you eat soup. That way I wouldn't have to measure.

Maybe your rabbi knows exactly how it was

ETA I think it was specifically a teaspoon

I found a little container from Dart that seems to be a good size. I was told less than a schnapps cup because they are more than one ounce. Was told 2 tablespoons

Fyi, some shot glasses today are much larger than 1 oz. Some are even two and a half ounces

You can buy 1 oz shot glasses on Amazon or at a pharmacy ( the little medicine cups that come with liquid medicine).

Some sefardi goes by weight, Ashkenazi goes by volume.

Everyone can go for weight by liquids because liquids is the exact same (30 ml=30 g)

Oy. I’m ashkenazi. Didn’t realize there might be a difference
