The resulting mixture has only one phase (a solution). However, water and oil are normally immiscible, and their boundary of separation is visible; they form a two-phase system. Sometimes you cannot "see" the boundary, and you will need scientific reasoning to realize the number of phases present in system.

A solution is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. The solution is homogeneous and does not settle out. ... If a suspension is allowed to stand the particles will separate out. A colloid is intermediate between a solution and a suspension.
