Peppermint can be grown indoors or outdoors, and is an easy plant to grow from seed. It thrives in partial to full sun and moist soil. Its invasive properties may be a problem in some areas, so it’s best to plant it in containers and control its spread.
When it comes to using mint in cooking, the fresh leaves of the Mentha x piperita can be chopped, torn or minced into smaller pieces and added to recipes.

Ensure that the mint leaves are thoroughly rinsed and patted dry before smoking them.

Once they are dry, the herbs can be crushed and rolled into a cigarette.
