What is a UK teaspoon?

A UK teaspoon is a traditional unit of volume historically defined as one-sixth of an imperial fluid ounce, approximately 4.736 mL, though a 5 mL metric teaspoon is also commonly used in the UK.

Why convert teaspoons (UK) to centiliters?

Converting to centiliters standardizes volume measurements for recipes, nutrition labels, and medicine dosing using the metric system widely adopted internationally.

Is centiliter a precise measurement for small volumes?

The centiliter is a coarse metric volume unit; for finer precision, milliliters or microliters are preferable.
