How Many Teaspoons Are in a Tablespoon?
There are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. This holds true in US, UK, and metric cooking measurements, which makes it one of the most useful conversions to memorize.
Handy kitchen reference:
- 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
- 1 tablespoon = 15 milliliters
- 1 teaspoon = 5 milliliters
- 4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup
- 16 tablespoons = 1 cup
So if a recipe calls for a tablespoon and you only have a teaspoon, just measure out 3 level teaspoons. And if you need half a tablespoon, that's 1½ teaspoons.
One caution: Australian tablespoons are larger at 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so double-check if you're using an Australian recipe.
