About these units
US Teaspoon (tsp)
One sixth of a US fluid ounce, exactly 4.92892159375 mL. Commonly rounded to 5 mL in recipes.
Teaspoons arrived with tea. Small spoons were common in Europe from at least the 13th century, and the earliest cited mention of a teaspoon is a London Gazette advertisement from 27 December 1686. Britain's Commutation Act of 1784 cut the tea tax from 119 percent to 12.5 percent, tea became cheap, and cups and spoons grew with it. By the 1850s the culinary teaspoon had settled as one third of a tablespoon.
The US teaspoon is one sixth of a US fluid ounce, exactly 4.92892159375 milliliters, though for nutrition labels and medicine it is rounded to 5 mL. Apothecaries once called the small spoon cochleare minus, to distinguish it from the larger cochleare majus. Household spoons are poor measuring tools: one study of 71 kitchen teaspoons found volumes from 2.5 to 7.3 milliliters, which is why dosing instructions point to standard measuring spoons or syringes.
1 US teaspoon = 0.004928921594 liters (approximately).

US Pint (pt)
One eighth of a US gallon, 473.176 mL (16 US fluid ounces). The US pint is about 17% smaller than the imperial pint.
Pint seems to come from Old French pinte, possibly from a Latin word meaning painted, perhaps because capacity marks were painted on containers. British North America inherited the 231-cubic-inch wine gallon around 1707, and the US liquid pint was derived from it as one eighth. After Britain adopted the imperial gallon in 1824, American and British pints parted ways for good.
Today the US liquid pint is exactly 28.875 cubic inches, or 473.176473 milliliters. The imperial pint, at 568.26125 mL, is about 20 percent larger. That is why a pint of beer in an American bar is a lesser drink than a pint in an English pub, and why recipes from different countries cannot swap pints blindly. In the US a pint is a common size for ice cream, cream and craft beer, and a separate US dry pint of about 550.6 milliliters measures blueberries and cherry tomatoes.
1 US pint = 0.473176473 liters (exactly).
