About Cup (cup)
A US customary unit of volume equal to 8 fluid ounces or about 237 milliliters. Cups are the dominant measurement unit in American home cooking and published US recipes — a standard measuring cup set includes 1, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 cup scoops. Outside North America, recipes typically use grams (for solids) and milliliters (for liquids), making cup→ml conversions one of the most common kitchen conversions for international cooks working from American cookbooks.
About Teaspoon (tsp)
A US culinary unit of volume equal to 1/3 of a tablespoon (about 4.93 mL). Teaspoons are the smallest everyday kitchen measurement — used for salt, spices, extracts, baking powder, and pharmaceutical liquid dosing. The "5 mL teaspoon" used in medicine is a rounded form of this unit. Tsp is also the standard unit in US baking recipes for yeast, leaveners, and flavorings where precision matters more than for liquid volumes.
