What is a milliliter?
The milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, exactly the volume of a cubic centimeter. It is the unit of medicine doses, perfume and cosmetics, and of drink labels in most countries; US bottles show it next to fluid ounces, as in 16.9 fl oz (500 ml).
What is a cup?
The US customary cup holds 8 fluid ounces, about 236.6 ml. Nutrition labels use a rounded 240 ml cup, and Canada and Australia use a 250 ml metric cup. In baking, measure dry ingredients level, or better, weigh them.
