Add mint leaves, and let the flavour infuse for up to one hour. Pass the puree through a sieve, and into another clean pan. Add agar agar and heat to 72°C. Allow mixture to cool till room temperature and pour over the prepared pannacotta. Allow about 2 tablespoons in each bowl. Allow the mixture to set for five minutes.	Wash, hull and cut strawberries.
