How to convert milliliters to teaspoons
Milliliters and US teaspoons are the smallest common kitchen volume units. One US teaspoon equals 4.92892 mL (often approximated as 5 mL). Teaspoons measure spices, extracts, and small liquid amounts in American recipes.
Divide milliliters by 4.92892 to get teaspoons. Formula: tsp = mL ÷ 4.92892. 5 mL = 1.01 tsp. 10 mL = 2.03 tsp. 2.5 mL (half teaspoon) = 0.51 tsp.
Baking precision matters — a 5 mL difference in leavening agents can affect results. Medicine droppers often mark mL while instructions say teaspoons.
Remember: 3 tsp = 1 tbsp = 14.79 mL. 5 mL ≈ 1 tsp, 2.5 mL ≈ ½ tsp, 1.25 mL ≈ ¼ tsp.
