The US customary teaspoon (symbol: tsp) is a small unit of volume widely used in culinary recipes and medical dosing. Defined in modern US nutrition guidelines as exactly 5 milliliters (0.000005 cubic meters), its traditional US fluid value equals 1/3 of a US tablespoon or 1/6 of a US fluid ounce (~4.92892 mL). Originating from tea-drinking cutlery in 17th-century England, the teaspoon was standardized to provide precise measurements in cooking.
