Recipe

The difference between measuring cups internationally is minimal
within 2 or 3 teaspoons difference. (For the record, 1 Australian
measuring cup will hold approximately 250ml.) The most accurate way
of measuring dry ingredients is to weigh them. When measuring
liquids use a clear glass or plastic jug with metric markings.

1 Teaspoon: 5ml 1 Tablespoon: 20ml

NOTE: NZ, CANADA, USA AND UK ALL USE 15ml TABLESPOONS. ALL CUP AND
SPOON MEASUREMENTS ARE LEVEL.
