That was a typo! It should have been 3.0g.

Experimentally, I found 1tsp of the Puttabong measured 1.8g and that when I
took a pinch the size that I normally use for an 8oz mug, it weighed 3.2g,
so I settled on 3.0 as a reasonable reference. Others may choose to use less
or more but for God's sake don't use 30.
