A splash of milk is a small quantity added to tea or coffee. Just a splash of milk, tea with a splash of milk, a splash of milk in it.

It is a deliberately vague measure, and it means less than a dash of anything else would. In Britain the amount of milk in tea is a matter people have real opinions about.
