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.
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.
