Personal Notes:
Although it is easier to make "Mexican Chocolate" using the Abuelita chocolate, I remember Cuca using Van Houten Dutch Cocoa powder. Since I can get raw cacao easily, I prefer to use it. I like to use raw sugar because it has the taste of 'piloncillo', but you can substitute honey or maple syrup and it is just as good.
I don't always add the egg, but it gives it a frothier texture and adds nourishment. Just be careful that the chocolate is not too hot when you incorporate the egg or it will curdle.
