Frequently Asked Questions
How many teaspoons is 5 ml?
5 mL ÷ 4.93 ≈ 1.01 teaspoons — effectively exactly one. Medicine doses are specified in 5 mL units for this reason.
How many teaspoons is 10 ml?
About 2 teaspoons (10 ÷ 4.93 ≈ 2.03), which is also two thirds of a tablespoon.
How many teaspoons is 15 ml?
About 3 teaspoons, which is one US tablespoon. This is the conversion that lets you substitute spoons when you are missing a measure.
Why measure in ml instead of spoons?
Because spoon sizes are not standardised across countries or cutlery sets, while a millilitre is a millilitre everywhere. For baking, medicine and anything where a small error compounds, a marked measure or a scale beats a spoon.
