Convert Teaspoon (US) to Milliliter
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.
Milliliter
A milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to 1/1,000th of a liter. One milliliter is equivalent to 1 cubic centimeter (cm³) and is used to measure small volumes, especially in liquids. It is commonly used in medical, scientific, and culinary contexts for precise measurements of fluids.
The milliliter is derived from the liter, which was introduced in the 18th century as part of the metric system during the French Revolution. The milliliter, being one thousandth of a liter, was created to measure smaller quantities of liquids or substances. The metric system's structure, based on powers of ten, made it easy to scale from larger units like the liter to smaller units like the milliliter. The milliliter has since become a standard unit of measurement in many fields, particularly in health, cooking, and scientific applications.
