Well, a homogenous mixture is a mixture with only one type of element.

jhannybean · Answer

It can also be defined as a mixture whose components are distributed evenly throughout the mix, and the composition of the mixture remains the same

So when you're mixing all those things into the bowl, you can still separate all the ingredients, therefore the mix would be homogeneous :)

anonymous · Answer

The fact that you can separate the ingredients doesn't make it homogeneous.  The definition of homogeneous is very context-dependent, but in this case the idea is the more uniform mixture is more homogeneous, in which case the answer would be the hot chocolate.

jhannybean · Answer

Oh that's right, the uniformity would change it. I definitely overlooked that fact.
