Translate..."1/2 cup or 2 Tbs" etc.

Question

I have to translate a recipe. The ingredients aren't hard to translate, but I'm wondering how write things like 1/2 cup or 2 Tbs. Here is the list:

1/2 c. cilantro 1 tsp. sal 2 Tbs. jugo de lima 1/4 c. cebolla 3 Tbs. aceite de olivia

It's not the entire recipe obviously, but these are the ones I'm having trouble translating. So how would you say or abbreviate these measurements in Spanish? Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

Cup = taza ½ cup = ½ taza (media taza)

Tbs = tablespoon = cuchara 2 Tbs = 2 cucharas 2 cucharas de jugo de lima

tsp = teaspoon = cucharita 1 tsp = 1 cucharita tsp salt = 1 cucharita de sal
