Eggnog foam
150 ml 2 % milk
150 ml heavy cream
1.5 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp sugar
3 Tbsp bourbon
Pinch salt
1 Tbsp rum
Steep all ingredients together in a medium sized sauce pan. Allow to cool. Place contents into an Isi canister and charge twice with c02. Alternatively, add all ingrients to a stainless steel bowl and whip to create a eggnog whipped cream.
Cranberry compote
500 ml frozen cranberries
250 ml sugar
Zest of 1 orange
Place all ingredients together in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Allow to cool and reserve at room temperature.
