† The fluid scruple has been properly defined on its own in the apothecaries' system as 1 ⁄ 24 fl oz, 1 ⁄ 3 fluid dram, or = 20 minims (≈ 1.23223 ml), and also 1 ⁄ 4 tsp.

A teaspoon (tsp.) is a small spoon that can be used to stir a cup of tea or coffee, or as a tool for measuring volume. [1] [2] The size of teaspoons ranges from about 2.5 to 7.3mL (about 0·088 to 0·257 imperial fluid ounce or 0·085 to 0·247 US fluid ounce).
However, the 1954 Angostura “Professional Mixing Guide” states that “a dash” is 1/6th of a teaspoon, or 1/48 of an ounce, and Victor Bergeron (a.k.a. Trader Vic, famous saloonkeeper), said that for bitters it was 1 ⁄ 8 teaspoon, but 1 ⁄ 4 fl oz for all other liquids.

A US food labeling fluid ounce is exactly 30 mL.

In the United Kingdom, a dessert spoon is traditionally 2 British imperial fluid drachms [3] (1 ⁄ 4 of a British imperial fluid ounce; about 1·92 US customary fluid drams, 0·24 US customary fluid ounce, or 7·1mL). 1 UK dessert spoon is the equivalence of 1 ⁄ 2 UK tablespoon, 2 UK teaspoons, or 4 UK salt spoons.
The cup is a cooking measure of volume, commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes.In the US, it is traditionally equal to one-half US pint (236.6 ml). Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups may be used, with a metric cup commonly being rounded up to 240 millilitres (legal cup), but 250 ml is also used depending on the ...
Metric measuring spoons are available in sets, usually between four and six, typically with decilitre (100 ml), tablespoon (15 ml), teaspoon (5 ml) and millilitre measures. [citation needed] For fractional measures, there is often a line inside to indicate "half" or "a quarter", or a separate measure may be included, like 1 ⁄ 2 dl.
