How many milliliters is a “pinch?”

Question

I found a recipe in English that mentions a "pinch" of something. English is not my first language, and Google shows that "pinch" has many meanings. Do I have to pinch it with my fingers, or can i find a suitable amount of milliliters to use?

Answer

A 'pinch' is the amount of powder/whatever that can be trapped between one's thumb and fore finger.
