Milliliters to Teaspoons

Milliliter

A milliliter (mL) is a small metric unit of volume used to measure liquids and very small quantities. One milliliter is equal to one cubic centimeter (1 mL = 1 cm³) and one-thousandth of a liter (1000 mL = 1 L). Because of its precision, the milliliter is commonly used in medicine, cooking, product packaging, and scientific experiments.

You’ll find milliliters marked on measuring cups, beverage labels, and syringes. When you need to convert milliliters to other units — such as teaspoons, tablespoons, or fluid ounces — an online converter makes it easy to avoid errors in recipes and dosage instructions.

Teaspoon

A teaspoon (tsp) is a small US customary unit of volume used mainly for measuring ingredients in cooking and beverages. One US teaspoon equals one-third of a tablespoon or about 4.93 milliliters, making it ideal for small additions like salt, spices, extracts, or medicine doses. It’s one of the most common measurements in recipes and is included in almost every set of measuring spoons.

Because metric measurements are widely used outside the United States, converting teaspoons to milliliters, tablespoons, or cups can be helpful when following international recipes. A conversion tool ensures accuracy so results remain consistent in the kitchen.
