teaspoons
Tiny measuring utensils
Teaspoons are small spoons used for stirring beverages and measuring ingredients.
As a unit of measurement, a teaspoon equals about 5 milliliters—one-third of a tablespoon.
Recipes often call for teaspoons of spices, extracts, or leavening agents: Add two teaspoons of vanilla.
The teaspoon is the smallest spoon in a standard flatware set.
