Not growing the entirety of my own food, but I do grow most all of my own herbs for cooking. Most herbs are pretty easy to grow and it's nice to know I will always have some (very) fresh herbs on hand.

Includes some mint that does quite often get used for tea.

Give it a try. Mint is really easy. Basil is also easy, and technically related to mint anyway. Even if you don't have much space, you can do those on an apartment balcony still. Bonus, mint naturally keeps away some types of insects that we normally consider pests.
