SWEET TEA BOYSENBERRY SHANDY

Sweet Tea Boysenberry Shandy image

I love an ice-cold beer on a hot summer day. I also love sweet tea, so one day I got the great idea to mix the two. Wow! It was absolutely delish. I experimented with different flavorings, and this combination was my favorite. -Kelly Williams, Forked River, New Jersey
