Half a Tablespoon to Teaspoons
1/2 tbsp = 1.5 tsp
= 7.4 ml | 0.25 fl oz | 0.0313 cups
Australia: 1/2 tbsp = 2 tsp (20 ml tablespoon)
Half a tablespoon is exactly 1.5 teaspoons or 7.4 ml. This is the amount of vanilla extract in a standard single-serve mug cake recipe, the baking powder for one small batch of muffins, or the fish sauce in a small bowl of pho. The most accurate way to measure half a tablespoon is to fill a 1/2 teaspoon measure three times. In Australia, half an Australian tablespoon (10 ml) equals 2 teaspoons.

Common Questions
What is half a tablespoon in teaspoons?
Half a tablespoon is exactly 1.5 teaspoons. Measure 1 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon rather than trying to fill a tablespoon to the midpoint, which is much less accurate.
Is 0.5 tablespoon the same as 1.5 teaspoons?
Yes. 0.5 tablespoon = 1/2 tablespoon = 1.5 teaspoons. They are all the same amount: 7.4 ml.
How do I measure half a tablespoon?
The most reliable method is two separate measures: fill a 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 tsp) three times, or fill a 1 teaspoon measure once and a 1/2 teaspoon measure once. Do not try to fill a tablespoon halfway; eyeballing it is inaccurate.
What is 1/2 tablespoon in ml?
Half a tablespoon is 7.4 ml using the US/UK 15 ml tablespoon standard. The Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, so half of that is 10 ml.
