vermischen vs mischen

to mix

When combining substances, both mischen and vermischen are often possible. Mischen refers to the neutral process, while vermischen places more emphasis on the components blending into one another and forming a combined mixture; this can also happen unintentionally. Choose vermischen when this blending together or the result is especially important.
