I'm not entirely certain what you mean by adding the word "hypothesis", but mint only "cools things down" if it's colder than they are (for example, if you were keeping it in the freezer or something). It does produce the sensation of coolness on the tongue for interesting chemical reasons, but it doesn't actually change the temperature.

How many mint does it take to cool down hot water?

If the question is "how many minutes" then the answer is: it depends on how hot the water is to start with, how much the temperature has to drop before you consider it "cooled down" and what you are doing to cool it... dropping ice cubes in it? letting it sit in an open pan? sticking it in a refrigerator? overall it really can't be answered without more information.If the question is about how much "mint" it takes to cool down hot water, then you should keep in mind that the cooling sensation you get from mint isn't actually from a drop in temperature but rather the way the chemicals of the mint stimulate the nerves.

Yes it is merely a sensation.Menthol has a property to stimulate the cold sensitive receptors in skin and mucus membranes producing feeling of coolness.This is just like the opposit that happen with pepper which stimulate heat receptors producing feeling of warmth without actually causing heat change...

How do you construct a hypothesis to test the claim that mint cools things down?

Simple. For the hypothesis, you state what you are trying to prove as a fact: The presence of mint will cool nearby substances..You would then go about testing this by making pairs of substances and introducing mint or mint products (choose one) into one half of the pairs and use the other half as a control. You would then measure the temperature of all of the substances (mint and control) over time and compare the data. You would quickly discover that the hypothesis is false; the presence of mint has no effect on the temperature of nearby substances.
