About the milliliter and the teaspoon

The milliliter

The milliliter (mL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one-thousandth of a liter, or one cubic centimeter. It is the everyday unit for medication dosing, beverage sizes outside the US, and cooking in most of the world. Note that a US fluid ounce is 29.5735 mL, while a UK fluid ounce is 28.4131 mL.

The teaspoon

The US teaspoon equals 1/3 of a US tablespoon, or about 4.929 mL. The metric teaspoon (used on most non-US nutrition labels) is exactly 5 mL — close enough that you can substitute freely in cooking but not in precise dosing.
