For me, the best way to crush mint leaves for Mojitos is with a gentle touch! I like to use a muddler or the back of a spoon to press down on the leaves just enough to release their aroma and flavor. It's important not to overdo it, though, to avoid bitterness. Cheers to refreshing Mojitos!

For me, I usually use my hands to tear it into smaller pieces first to release the aroma then with a back of the spoon, I gently press it together with a sweetener. Make sure not to overdo it, so that your mojito won't taste bitter
