Shop, store, prep

Get mint ready before it hits the press.

Choose mint

  • Bright, vivid green leaves.
  • Aromatic when leaves are gently rubbed.
  • Avoid dark, slimy, or wilted patches.

Store before juicing

  • Keep refrigerated and lightly wrapped.

Prep for pressing

  • Use leaves and tender stems.
  • Spearmint is the standard juicing mint — milder than peppermint. Bunch the stems and feed slowly so the juicer captures the leaves.

Cold-press behavior

Know how it acts in the juicer.

Yield

Low

Mint gives lighter yield, so use it for flavor and green character rather than bottle volume.

Difficulty

Moderate

Feed mint with cucumber, celery, apple, or citrus so small leaves do not sit alone in the press.

Texture

Light green

Adds green body without making the bottle heavy when the amount stays modest.

Foam

Low-medium

Usually manageable, but small greens can create flecks that settle after bottling.

Watch for

Wet or wilted leaves

Use fresh, perky mint and avoid sour, wet, or collapsed leaves.

Best order

Tucked between juicy produce

Sandwich mint between higher-yield pieces for better extraction.

Flavor role

Use it for a fresh finish.

Mint helps a bottle by adding refreshing herb. It usually works well with cucumber and lime.

Pair mint with citrus, herbs, cucumber, or apple when the bottle needs clearer balance.

Starter formulas

Use mint without needing a full recipe.

Swap mint

Keep the bottle balanced when something is missing.

Use these swaps before juicing when you need a similar role or a quick flavor correction.
