Teaspoons in recipes and medicine
A standard metric teaspoon is 5 milliliters. That is the value commonly used in nutrition labels, medicine directions and many modern recipes.
Kitchen spoons are not reliable measuring tools because their physical size can vary. For medicine and baking, use a marked measuring spoon, oral syringe or measuring cup when accuracy matters.
Important: For medication, follow the product label and a healthcare professional's directions; this calculator does not replace dosage advice.
