The simplest way is to use litmus paper.
The mixture must be a liquid so that the mixture can react with the water and so dissociate into either hydronium or hydroxide ions. If it's a solid, try dissolving it in water. If you have a gas, use damp litmus paper.
Red litmus paper is used to test for basic substances, and turns blue in a positive test.
Blue litmus paper is used to test for acidic substances, and turns red in a positive test.
