How do you sliver mint leaves?

When I want to make small slivers of mint or basil I also roll them, but I use a pair of sharp scissors ( I bought a pair of hair salon shears for my kitchen) to cut small strips without bruising.

How do you sliver mint leaves?
You get a couple mint leaves together and roll them like a cigarette. Then you slice the wad that you created very finely the short way and you end up with little "slivers" of mint. Is this for a mojito? If so, you might want to blend them.
Reply:Well I have mint leaves in my backyard and I roll the leaves into a bundle and then cut the leaves the way where they're short and you end up with lots of little mint leaf slivers!
