What is a small teaspoon?

"Small teaspoon" is not a standard measurement. It's a subjective term that could mean different things to different people.

Here's what it *could* mean:

* A teaspoon from a smaller set: Some sets of measuring spoons have smaller teaspoons than others. This might be labeled as a "1/2 teaspoon" or even "1/4 teaspoon."

* A "teaspoon" that is actually smaller than a standard teaspoon: Some people might refer to a "small teaspoon" when they actually mean a "half teaspoon" or "quarter teaspoon."

* A teaspoon that is specific to a particular recipe: Some recipes might call for a "small teaspoon" if they require a very small amount of an ingredient, but this is not standard.

To avoid confusion, it's always best to use standard measurements.

If you are unsure about the size of a "small teaspoon," it's always better to ask for clarification or use a standard measuring spoon.
