Hi D, it looks like Powdery Mildew- (but the photo is a bit blurry for me) which is a fungus- which could caused by overcrowded plants, poor air circulation, high humidity, and shady conditions. I grew peppermint and had same issue- because mine was so full it wasn’t getting enough air circulation (and Texas humidity stinks - a lot lol). I pruned the snot out of mine so it got more air movement. There’s a few sprays you can try, but I might suggest you prune the bad leaves, make sure it’s getting the proper amount of light. If you can get a clearer pic of it- go to google and put your pic in it and it will tell you all kinds of info for any plant. Or put a clearer one here. I hope this helps!
(listen to Catherine) yes, it might also be pests but I don't know if all plants can get them. Have a fun time growing your plant! ❀️
