# Step-by-step guide:
01 - Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small bowl and allow to hydrate for 5 minutes.
02 - Combine heavy cream, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and cream reaches 160°F without boiling.
03 - Remove saucepan from heat. Add bloomed gelatin to hot cream mixture and whisk vigorously until completely dissolved.
04 - Stir vanilla extract into the cream mixture until well combined.
05 - Distribute mixture evenly among 4 serving glasses or ramekins. Cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate for minimum 4 hours until firmly set.
06 - Combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and release juices. Lightly mash with a fork or blend to desired consistency. Allow to cool completely.
07 - Spoon cooled strawberry sauce over each set panna cotta. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and mint leaves if desired.
