To measure mL of a liquid in a glass, use a graduated cylinder or a measuring jug with milliliter (mL) markings. Pour the liquid into the measuring device until it reaches the desired mL marking. Ensure the device is on a flat surface and your eye level is even with the liquid level to get an accurate measurement. For smaller quantities, a graduated pipette or a calibrated dropper can be more precise.
