Is 1 teacup equal to standard cup?

Here's why:

* Standard Cup: A standard cup in most recipes is 8 fluid ounces (237 milliliters).

* Teacup: Teacups vary significantly in size, but are typically smaller than a standard cup. They often hold 6 fluid ounces or less.

So, if a recipe calls for 1 cup, you should not use a teacup to measure. It's best to use a measuring cup specifically designed for measuring liquids.
