Freezing mint?

I don’t know about mint, but I froze a load of basil last year, and the last bits are still aromatic and tender.

I just sealed it in small bags that would lay flat in freezer and froze it.

I think maybe not washing it beforehand was a good idea.

Does anyone do this? I have a large patch of mint but later in the season it gets tough and tatty. I'd like to freeze some when it's at its best but there are several methods online, ranging from just freezing whole leaves to adding to water and freezing as ice cubes.
I always use it chopped .
Thanks
