The formula
teaspoons = tablespoons × 3. Going the other way, 1 teaspoon = 0.333 tablespoons.
A US tablespoon is 14.79 ml, which kitchens round to 15 ml. Australian tablespoons are 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so an Australian recipe may need a third more.
Converting to grams instead? Volume only becomes weight once you know the ingredient — a cup of flour and a cup of honey differ by almost 3×. Use the cups to grams converter.
