To measure 250 ml, use a measuring cup or a graduated cylinder marked with milliliters. Pour the liquid slowly until you reach the 250 ml mark. If you lack these tools, use a standard kitchen cup, as it generally holds approximately 240 ml. To reach 250 ml, slightly overfill the cup. Ensure you're on a level surface and view the measurement at eye level to ensure accuracy. Measuring spoons can also work, combining 16 tablespoons (1 tablespoon = 15 ml) to equal 240 ml, then add an extra small portion.
