Dessert spoon is about 10g tablespoon about 15g so I reckon 6 dessert spoons will be about right

that would be 6 heaped desert spoons

A dessert spoon is two teaspoons, table spoon is 3. So 4 tbsp is 6 dessert spoons, or 60 ml.

a tablespoon is 15ml and a dessert spoon is 10. So if the recipe says 4 tablespoons, that's 60ml, which would be 6 dessert spoons.

Do you have teaspoons? Standard measure for a tablespoon is around 15 ml of liquid. A standard full size teaspoon is 5 ml, so you can use 3 times as many teaspoons. (12 in this case. )
Just make sure they are the standard size.
Do you have any teaspoons that you might get with children's medicine? They are usually 5 ml.
Dessert spoon sizes can vary a lot, btw.
