You can dry it. That's what mint tea is, afterall.

Or you could make a simple syrup (1:1 water to sugar by volume) and
steep the mint in it for a few minutes, then store in the
refrigerator.

Or you could put it in a clean bottle with some sugar, cover with
Vodka, and shake it once a week for a few months.

Or you could make a bunch of batches of mint ice cream or sorbet.

Or you could freeze it.

My guess is, you probably have enough mint to do all the above.
