Is hot tea a homogeneous mixture?

* Heterogeneous mixtures have components that are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture. You can often see the different parts of the mixture.

* Homogeneous mixtures have components that are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. They have a uniform composition.

In the case of hot tea:

* Tea leaves are not evenly distributed throughout the water. You can see the tea leaves, especially if you use loose leaf tea.

* Other ingredients like sugar or honey may dissolve, but even then, the distribution of the dissolved sugar or honey is not perfectly even throughout the tea.

* The tea itself can be considered a heterogeneous mixture because it contains different types of compounds that are not evenly distributed.

Therefore, hot tea is considered a heterogeneous mixture.
