General:

If you are like me and grow some of your own herbs such as Mint, then you like to take advantage of what you have. I add Mint because I like Mint. Since the leaves are small, you won't be producing a lot of juice. I use Mint just to add extra flavor.

I add enough Mint to create the flavor I like. You will need to test how many leaves of Mint bring the flavor you like.
