Hi,

Please let me know if the sentence mentioned below is right:

1) Please just put a small dash of milk in my tea.

2) Please just put a dash of milk in my tea.

Regards

As a 'dash' is a fairly small amount, we are unlikely to use 'small' with it.
 
I'd just ask for a drop of milk in my tea, Your Highness.

We take a drop to mean a small amount in this context, not literally a single drop.

A dash of milk is OK too.
 
Pls Drop Dash of milk in my tea is good..

Dash means small amount

I am not a teacher.

"Dash" sounds natural enough to me. Both sentences are good.
