Yep. I give to my Syrian few mint leaves per week. But she much prefers basil or parsley

It is quite a strong flavour for a hamster I'd say though it would not be toxic. Remember they are much more sensitive to strong flavours and smells than us.
You could try a tiny bit to see how she responds but not too much at a time.
