Step 1: Combine the first 3 ingredients (mint - sugar) in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to very low and cook for 5 minutes without simmering. Pour syrup through a fine strainer into an 8 x 8 x 2 inch glass baking dish. Cool to room temperature and then mix in lemon juice. Cover and freeze until firm, stirring occasionally (6 hours to overnight).
Step 2: Using an electric mixer beat the cream star and mint in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form.
Step 3: Using a fork, scrape granite to form crystals. Place 4 berry slices in each of 6 glasses. Top with 1 generous tablespoon of minted cream, then 4 strawberry slices and then spoon 1/4 cup granite over. Repeat layering the berry slices, cream and granite for six glasses. Garnish each parfait with a berry slice and mint leaf.
