Spoon Measurement Terms

In some articles, we use ‘One Spoon,’ ‘Rounded Spoon,’ and ‘Heaped Spoon’ for non-liquid ingredients instead of precise measurements. These terms apply to both tablespoons and teaspoons:

  • One Spoon: Ingredient filled and leveled in a measuring spoon.
  • Rounded Spoon: Ingredient slightly piled above the spoon’s edge.
  • Heaped Spoon: Ingredient scooped as high as possible on the spoon

The DIY Herbal Soap consists of a powder and Moroccan black soap.

Let’s prepare the powder.

1- Start by putting 1 heaped tablespoon of dried chamomile in a large bowl.
