A teaspoon is a unit of volume measure equal to 1⁄3 tablespoon in the USA. It is exactly equal to 5 ml. In the USA there are 16 teaspoons in 1⁄3 cup, and there are 6 teaspoons in 1 fluid ounce. In the UK, 1 UK teaspoon (traditionally 1⁄8 imperial fluid ounce or 1 imperial fluid drachm) is equal to 1⁄4 UK tablespoon.
"Teaspoon" may be abbreviated as t (note: lowercase letter t) or tsp.
A small spoon, as might be used for eating yogurt from a small container or adding sugar to tea, is about 1 teaspoon in size.
