This sounds obvious, but it’s the detail most people get wrong without realising it. Wherever you choose to store your pudina, whether in a jar, a wrapped bundle, or a clay pot, keeping it away from direct sunlight, the stove, or any other heat source matters more than the storage method itself. A shaded, well-ventilated spot, ideally the coolest corner of the kitchen rather than a sunny windowsill, can be the difference between mint lasting a few days and mint lasting well over a week.
