Soak gelatin in cold water according to package instructions.
2
Pour cream and milk into a saucepan, bring to a boil and set aside.
3
Rinse the mint in cold water and let it dry.

Grind half the whole mint in a blender, and simply chop the remaining half finely. Sprinkle chopped mint with lemon juice.
5
Grate lemon zest on a fine grater.
6
Add whole mint and lemon zest to milk with cream, mix and add sugar. Put on low heat for 5 minutes. Sugar should completely dissolve, but it is important not to let the liquid boil. Then remove from heat and let stand for 20 minutes under a closed lid.
7
Add pre-squeezed gelatin from excess water into the mixture.
8
Pour the mixture into molds or glasses and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Take an almost ready dessert from the refrigerator and put a mint leaf on top and decorate with berries. If desired, you can make a sauce of the same berries and pour on top. Refrigerate for another 2-3 hours.
Useful advice
To get the panna cotta out of the mold and not damage it, you need to turn the mold on a plate and cover with a hot towel so that the dessert moves away from the walls of the mold.
