Drop
A drop is a small unit of volume commonly used in medicine and cooking. It is typically defined as 1/20th of a milliliter (mL) or 0.05 milliliters.
The drop as a unit of volume has been used for centuries, particularly in medicine for administering small doses of liquid medications. The exact volume of a drop can vary depending on the liquid and the dropper used, but it is generally standardized as 0.05 milliliters.
Teaspoon (US)
The US teaspoon is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is equal to 1/3rd of a US tablespoon or 1/48th of a US cup. One US teaspoon is approximately 4.92892 milliliters (mL). It is commonly used in cooking, especially for measuring small quantities of liquid or dry ingredients, such as spices or extracts.
The US teaspoon originated from the traditional use of teaspoons in everyday life, initially as a simple tool for eating and measuring small amounts of liquid or powder. The standardization of the US teaspoon came with the development of the U.S. customary system. The teaspoon was officially defined to be 4.92892 milliliters to create uniformity in recipes and food preparation. This allowed for greater consistency in measurements, particularly in cooking. Despite the metric system's prevalence in many countries, the US teaspoon continues to be widely used in the United States for recipes and food labeling.
