Detailed explanation-1: -A teaspoon (tsp.) is an item of cutlery. It is a small spoon that can be used to stir a cup of tea or coffee, or as a tool for measuring volume. The size of teaspoons ranges from about 2.5 to 7.3 ml (0.088 to 0.257 imp fl oz; 0.085 to 0.247 US fl oz).
Detailed explanation-2: -"Teaspoon” may be abbreviated as t (note: lowercase letter t) or tsp. A small spoon, as might be used for eating yogurt from a small container or adding sugar to tea, is about 1 teaspoon in size.
Detailed explanation-3: -The difference between these two measuring spoons is that a teaspoon is equal to 1/6 of a fluid ounce (5mL), and a tablespoon is equal to 1/2 of a fluid ounce (15mL). This makes a tablespoon three times the size of a teaspoon.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are 3 teaspoons (tsp) in 1 tablespoon (tbsp, Tbsp, or T).
