- 1. Wash your mint leaves and pat them dry with a towel or toss them in your salad spinner. 2. Cut your mint with herb scissors or place it in the jar and crush it using a muddler. 3. Place your crushed mint leaves in a clean glass jar (if they're not already in the jar!) and add alcohol. Pour enough to cover the leaves, about 1.5 cups. 4. Place in a cool, dark location for 4-6. Every week or so, or as often as you remember, shake up the jar. 5. Strain the extract through cheesecloth or a mesh strainer and bottle for storage.
