About Milliliter (mL)

A metric unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter (0.001 L) or exactly one cubic centimeter. Milliliters are the everyday metric unit for medicine dosing, cooking measurements outside the US, laboratory chemistry, perfume and beverage cans. A standard medical syringe is 10 mL; a shot glass is about 44 mL; a standard intravenous saline bag is 500 or 1,000 mL. In chemistry and pharmacy, mL and cc (cubic centimeters) are used interchangeably.

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.
