Mellow Mushroom may have created hand-tossed, stone-baked Southern pizza as its signature offering, but this casual restaurant brand also provides more than that: Calzones, sandwiches, salads and munchies are also among its menu offerings.

Mellow Mushroom recently introduced an expanded beverage program and hired Kynyetta Lester as Director of Cocktails. Additionally, their Local to Your Mellow cocktail section has also been added into this plan.

Ingredients

While there are various methods for taking psilocybin mushrooms, many experienced mushroom lovers favor making their own shroom tea as it provides an easy, cost-effective and controllable method. Boiling and steeping mushrooms helps break down psilocybin for a quicker onset trip experience and can even be combined with superfood ingredients like lemon peels, ginger root, turmeric root, cinnamon stick rose hips or lion’s mane to maximize benefits and heighten experience.

This recipe can also be used to craft non-psychoactive “mistletoe tea”, which contains antidepressant compounds similar to LSD and may help those suffering from anxiety, PTSD or depression. You can customize this recipe using green, oolong, black and herbal tea bags and infusions to achieve different flavors and effects.

Mellow Mushroom has also introduced an updated beverage menu across their 160 locations with delicious specialty cocktails & mocktails as well as wine and craft beer selections. Their new Director of Beverage Chad Arenas joined from Levy Restaurants & Logan’s Roadhouse alongside Kynyetta Lester as associate Director of Beverage to oversee this program.

These beverages will be part of Mellow Mushroom’s national 50th anniversary campaign that features celebratory events, limited-time menu items and brand new product offerings, such as special-edition pizza boxes, cups and to-go packaging with unique 50th themed designs and merchandise available starting May 14. Mellow Mushroom will offer fan favorites along with innovative twists that add new flavor. They also have three new menu cover art designs as well as three pizza box designs as part of this offering and their retail assortment will feature 50th themed merchandise that will be available nationwide until November 2024!

Steep Time

Steeping shroom tea may initially seem daunting, but once you understand its steps it becomes much simpler. To create the optimal conditions, boil the water for only a short period and don’t stir, before adding lemongrass for additional flavorful and aromatic results.

Before enjoying your tea, allow it to steep for approximately 20 minutes. This is important because shorter steeping times mean less psilocybin is present while longer steeping times will have greater effects.

Are You Searching For Sleep, Relaxation or Psychoactive Visions? Mushroom tea may be just what’s necessary! As opposed to chewing mushrooms or taking tinctures directly, mushroom tea brewing offers an easier and healthier option – particularly beneficial if you suffer from stomach issues or don’t enjoy their texture directly.

Last year, San Francisco and Colorado decriminalized various psychedelics – such as shrooms – which was an historic step. While it may seem as though mushrooms popped up out of nowhere, their use has actually been commonplace since ancient times for spiritual use, medicinal use, recreational enjoyment and simply recreational fun.

To create mushroom tea, all that’s needed is a tea kettle and tea bag – although mugs or regular coffee mugs will work just as well if desired. Next add any combination of reishi, green or black tea into the kettle with the bag in to steep for several minutes before pouring boiling water onto them and leaving them sit.

Add honey or other ingredients as desired, to customize the tea’s taste exactly to your liking. After creating your masterpiece, store it in the fridge – although it should last approximately one or two weeks if left unused.

Mellow Mushroom will commemorate their 50th anniversary by unveiling exciting new menu items this year, in addition to three unique menu cover art designs, a 50th themed pizza box, cups and to-go packaging featuring their new brand identity, as well as offering merchandise and gift cards in celebration of this milestone event.

Serving Size

Mushroom tea is not only delicious and low in calories; it is also loaded with antioxidants, B vitamins and magnesium – plus mushrooms are known for helping improve mood and increase concentration! No wonder so many people love making their own mushroom tea!

A typical serving size for mushroom tea is around 8 ounces, though this will depend on your desired potency of your brew. If you want a higher dosage, add more mushrooms. Water usage also has an impactful influence on potency; using less will intensify its effects while more will dilute them.

Start by boiling your desired amount of water. This can be done in any container such as a pan, pot or kettle. Once boiling is complete, remove from heat and let mushroom tea steep for 15-20 minutes before adding additional flavors such as lemon, garlic honey and natural herbs for flavor enhancements and increased strength of your brew.

For those without the time or dedication to create their own shroom tea, there are psilocybin-infused drinks available for sale at most major stores and dispensaries. Experienced mushroom enthusiasts may prefer making their own tea as it provides more control over dosage and experience compared to purchasing premade varieties from stores or dispensaries, and can help avoid nausea by being easier on the stomach than eating whole mushrooms directly.

Storage

Mellow mushroom shroom tea‘s shelf life depends on how it’s stored. To maintain freshness and potency, store in an airtight container in a cool dark place – this will prevent degradation of active compounds such as psilocybin.

As part of their label and storage duties, homemade mushroom edibles must also be clearly labeled and stored appropriately to prevent accidental overdoses and ensure accurate dosages. When first beginning making shroom edibles it’s wise to begin by creating smaller batches for testing purposes before increasing to larger ones if necessary – this gives an opportunity to assess your recipe, dosage and make any necessary adjustments before going full steam ahead with manufacturing large volumes.

When making mushroom tea, it is wise to select a honey that will complement its earthy flavors. High-quality raw honey should provide optimal results; finely grinding mushroom powder prior to mixing it with honey ensures even distribution of mushroom extract across its entirety. Once mixed, seal infusion in glass jar and store away in cool and dark place; let ageing occur naturally over two or four weeks for maximum potency!

Honey is often chosen as the base ingredient in mushroom edibles due to its many advantages over other ingredients. Honey offers long shelf life and resistance against spoilage; additionally it boasts antimicrobial properties which protect product quality while being easy to measure and dose, providing users with control of their experience according to individual tolerance.

Some individuals prefer making their own psychedelic tea for discreet dosing, rather than purchasing it from stores. Many shroom vendors provide discrete packaging by infusing their product into chocolate bars or gummies – ideal for easy dosing instructions – however not everyone can consume these forms of edibles; thus shroom tea provides an ideal option for those with dietary restrictions.
