absolutely!
Put leaves in cup. Pour half cup boiled water. Leave to infuse a few minutes and then top with more boiled water.

how many leaves?

I have a chocolate mint plant somewhere in the wilds of my garden but have never before seen the point of it...

just made a cup with about 4 leaves (Moroccan mint plant) - probably depends on type of plant and how strong you like it.
