By itself, this question makes no sense.  What is a "stream"?  Using Ohm's
law you can compute the resistance that will draw 10mA from a 5V source:

  Ohm = Volt / Amp

  5V / 10mA = 500 Ohms

If all you want to do is draw 10mA from your 5V source, then put a 500ohm
resistor accross it.  However, you seem to have more going on than that, but
it's not clear at all what that is.

Since your question makes no sense and you are clearly new to electronics,
you should describe your overall problem without supposing the answer has
something to do with a resistor.
