Teaspoons (tsp) to US cups (cup) 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.
US cups
The cup is a unit of volume used primarily in cooking and baking, equal to exactly 236.5882365 mL in the US customary system. The metric cup (250 mL) is used in Australia, Canada, and South Africa. In culinary education, cup measurements form the practical basis of recipe standardisation, though the variation between US, metric, and UK cups is a common source of international recipe confusion.
