Teaspoon (Metric): in the metric system, the teaspoon is not a standardized unit of volume. The metric system primarily uses the liter and its subunits, such as milliliters, for measuring volume. However, in culinary contexts, especially in recipes, people might refer to a "teaspoon" for convenience, as 1 metric teaspoon is often considered to be roughly equivalent to 5 milliliters.
Milliliter: is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is equal to one-thousandth of a liter. The milliliter is commonly used for measuring small quantities of liquid, such as medications, beverages, or other fluids. The symbol for milliliter is "mL".
