In the press
How mint 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.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Bright, vivid green leaves.
- Aromatic when leaves are gently rubbed.
- Avoid dark, slimy, or wilted patches.
Store
- Keep refrigerated and lightly wrapped.
Prep
- 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.
