4 Teaspoons to Tablespoons
4 tsp = 1 1/3 tbsp
= 19.7 ml
Four teaspoons equals 1 and 1/3 tablespoons (1.333 tbsp), 19.7 ml, or 20 ml using the UK/metric 5 ml teaspoon. The 20 ml figure is significant: it is exactly 1 Australian tablespoon (AS 1291). So if a recipe calls for 4 teaspoons in an Australian context, you can use 1 AU tablespoon as a perfect substitute. In US/UK contexts, 4 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon. The quantity often appears in salad dressings, marinades, and spice blends scaled for 4 to 6 servings.
