Shop, store, prep
Get mint ready before it hits the press.

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.
Best pairings
Pair by flavor job, not guesswork.
