If you use frozen juice concentrate do you add alittle more water than the usual 3 can fulls on the directions? I usually add about 1/2 can more of water and don't notice a difference in the taste. Every little bit counts when stretching the grocery budget these days, and my girls drink a lot of juice.

I definitely add more water than it calls for. I think about a can more, but I don't usually measure it. I just add water to a certain line on the pitcher when I make it. Nobody has every noticed a difference.

I agree about prices and every little bit counting!

I've tried it but I guess I'm too used to it the way it was. I definately notice a difference. However, when I give juice to my babe I always dillute it by half. Just because I'm a sugar addict doesn't mean I want he to become one.

Unless I'm making it for a recipe and need it full strength, I usually add about twice as much water as it calls for. My parents did it when I was growing up and I don't notice the taste difference. In my opinion, full strength juice tastes too strong.

I always add an extra can or so when making juice. No one seems the wiser.

I usually add a half a can more since that is all that will fit in the pitcher. The kids have never complained.

My kids must have a sensitive palate. They can always tell.
