Measuring Teaspoons
No measuring spoons? No problem.
Baking without measuring spoons doesn’t have to be a headache. With a couple simple hacks you can still add the right teaspoon and tablespoon measurements to your bakes.
A teaspoon is 5ml, so if you have metric measuring items, such as a measuring jug or even a clean medicine cap, you can do a quick measurement that way. Otherwise, the tip of your index finger from your first knuckle to the tip is roughly equal around a teaspoon.
A tablespoon is 15ml. If you don’t have any metric measurements, then remember that a tablespoon is approximately equal to your thumb.
