I’m making slime and the recipe asks for 10 drops of food coloring. I don’t have a dropper, so I was hoping to measure drops with a teaspoon. How many drops are in a teaspoon?

It’ll depend on many factors such as the type of teaspoon you’re using and the viscosity of the liquid you’re trying to drop, and more.
Volume of different teaspoons:
1 US teaspoon = 4.93 mL
1 Imperial teaspoon = 5.92 mL
1 Metric teaspoon = 5.00 mL
Drops per mL: 1/0.05 or 20
So,
1 US teaspoon = 4.93 mL = 98.6 drops
1 Imperial teaspoon = 5.92 mL = 118.4 drops
1 Metric teaspoon = 5.00 mL = 100 drops
This is based on the usual consistency of drugs (where droppers are typically used)
Basically, 1 teaspoon is around 100 drops.
