Yeah, I grew up in Arkansas, but my mother was from Chicago, and never made iced tea. So, while my aunts and cousins always had it around, and I often saw it steeping on the stove, I was never "taught" how it's done. It's one of those things that just "is"--seems obvious and every-day to them, but not to the uninitiated.
