Teaspoons (tsp) to Centiliters (cL) Conversion
Teaspoons
The teaspoon is a unit of volume used in culinary and pharmaceutical measurement, equal to exactly 4.92892 mL in the US customary system. The metric teaspoon is standardised at exactly 5 mL, universally used in medicine for oral liquid dosing: "one teaspoon three times daily" = 5 mL. The distinction between a level teaspoon (standardised) and a heaped teaspoon (variable) is important in recipe precision.
Centiliters
The centilitre is a unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a litre (10 mL), used primarily in Europe for expressing beverage servings and wine bottle volumes. A standard wine glass serving in European restaurants is typically 12.5 cL, and spirits are commonly served in 2.5 or 5 cL measures. The centilitre is rarely used in scientific contexts, where millilitres and litres are preferred.
