- Try another variety of citrus juice. How about an orange-pineapple blend?
- Experiment with your favorite herbs. How about oregano or tarragon?
Tips
- In the morning, take the juice concentrate out of the freezer and put it in the fridge. It will have thawed by suppertime. (Or take it out of the freezer and put it on the kitchen counter a couple of hours before you need it.) Either way, set it in a bowl to avoid messes.
