You can if you don’t know or trust the sourcing. I know the mint I grow is all organic and clean. Just rinse and pat dry, or use a salad spinner to dry.

Do you wash the mint?

However the smell is not as ‘minty’ as I’d like. There also seems to be an underlying smell that isn’t necessarily bad, just something else. Am I smelling the vodka?
Could I do another infusion with dried peppermint or spearmint to strengthen the flavor? The mint in my garden has been demolished (by grasshoppers I think) so I’d have to use dried !
