5 ml ≈ 1 tsp. Medicine spoons are calibrated at 5 ml for this reason.
1 ml = 0.202884 tsp. 4.929 ml = 1 tsp exactly.
tsp × 4.929 = ml.
Converts between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres when following recipes from different countries.
Converts US cups to metric ml when cooking from American cookbooks with a European kitchen.
Calculates exact portion sizes in ml or fl oz from recipe measurements for dietary analysis.
Converts between fl oz, ml, and tablespoons for cocktail recipe scaling.
Scales recipes up to litres for large-batch cooking from cup-based recipes.
Provides both cup and ml measurements in recipes to serve both US and international audiences.
The millilitre (mL) is one-thousandth of a litre and the SI unit of liquid volume most commonly used in cooking, medicine, and food labelling. 1 mL of water at 4°C weighs exactly 1 gram.
mL is universal in food nutrition labels, liquid medicine dosing, and scientific cooking (molecular gastronomy). 1 US teaspoon ≈ 5 mL; 1 tablespoon ≈ 15 mL; 1 US cup ≈ 237 mL; 1 US fl oz ≈ 30 mL.
Interesting fact: The 1 mL = 1 g (for water) relationship makes the metric system exceptionally convenient for baking: 100 mL of water = 100 g = the same cup-to-gram conversion for any liquid with water-like density.
The US teaspoon is defined as exactly 4.92892 mL (1/6 fl oz = 1/3 tablespoon). It is the smallest standard cooking measure and is used for spices, leavening agents, extracts, and salt where precise small quantities matter.
1 US tablespoon = 3 US teaspoons = 4.929 mL. Baking powder is typically used at 1 tsp per cup of flour; salt at ¼–½ tsp; vanilla extract at 1 tsp. The teaspoon is where measurement precision matters most.
Interesting fact: The metric equivalent of 1 teaspoon is 5 mL — conveniently close to the US teaspoon (4.929 mL). Most medicine dosing spoons and children's medicine cups are calibrated in 5 mL increments for this reason.
The US cup chain: 1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp = 8 fl oz = 236.6 ml = ½ pint. Note: metric cups (Australia) = 250 ml; UK tablespoon = 17.76 ml vs US 14.79 ml. Always check which measurement system a recipe uses.
