Best Answer

You either have an inaccurate weighing scale, or you weighed the teaspoon along with the sugar on the teaspoon (which you're not meant to do - it's only the sugar that you weigh!). Either way, a teaspoon of sugar is much closer to 4 grams than it is to 23 - you should probably check the accuracy of your scale.
