To measure 10 mL, you can use a measuring spoon or a graduated syringe which provides the most accuracy. Measuring spoons that come with standard sets usually include a 1 tablespoon (approx. 15 mL) and a 1/2 tablespoon (approx. 7.5 mL) measure. By filling the 1/2 tablespoon measure a bit more than two-thirds full, you'll get approximately 10 mL. For precision, especially for medicines or recipes, a graduated syringe or measuring cup marked with milliliters provides an exact 10 mL measurement.
