Teaspoons

/ˈtiˌspunz/ noun

Definition

Plural of teaspoon; small spoons used for stirring tea or other beverages, or the unit of measurement equal to about 5 milliliters used in cooking.

Etymology

Compound of 'tea' (from Chinese 'cha' via Dutch and Portuguese) and 'spoon' (Old English 'spon'). The specialized spoon size emerged in the 17th century as tea drinking became popular in England.

Kelly Says

The teaspoon as a measurement unit varies by country—American teaspoons are different from British ones—which is why recipes from different countries sometimes confuse cooks!
