In these regions, one tablespoon is 14.8 ml (0.50 US fl oz). In some places like the US, the tablespoon was historically defined as 1â2 US fl oz (2 tbsp. = 1 US fl oz). In Australia, a tablespoon is defined as four teaspoons, equaling to 20 ml (0.68 US fl oz).
Depends on what country you're in and who wrote the recipe (assuming it's a recipe). In Australia, 20 ml is one tablespoon. In the US/UK/Canada, a tablespoon is 15 ml and a teaspoon is 5 ml (the US version is actually 4.92892159375 ml, but 5 is good enough for cooking). This confusion over the definitions of a measurement unit is why the world moved to metric.
