Does it need to be kept frozen? Any reason it can't be stored in the refigerator
instead of the freezer? I Googled the question and can't find an answer. Thanks.

Why not just keep it frozen? It melts down readily with water.

I don't want to open the refrigerator and find sopping wet cardboard
sitting in a puddle of melted slush. YMMV.

Thanks. For whatever reason, I missed the fact that the container is cardboard.

I should know about the sogginess from leaving it out on the counter to soften
up before I mixed it. I'll try to think a llittle more before asking another
question.

layers. If a cardboard carton gets soggy the options are just two: or they
are not internally lined with film and foil, or they get soggy due to
humidity from the exterior of them. There's no way a liquid can pass through
a tetrapak, and in my experience not a single tetrapak has ever gotten
soggy, not one in 40 years. Check what carboard are those cartons made of

concentrate in years. However, I have in the past, and it seems to me
that the major problem was that, while he inside was well sealed, the
frozen contents led to serious condensation on the outside, and it was
that outside moisture penetrating the the wrapping that compromised the
strength of the tube.

container if you want to keep it in the fridge.
I haven't seen them leak but they get soft and when you pick them up they
want to squish, possibly ejecting juice concentrate at an undersireable
moment.

Tetrapak *is* recyclable, in fact it *is* recycled in most of Europe

Here lots of things are in tetrapak, from beans (tetrapak boxed instead of
canned) to OJ to broth to almost everything liquid.

Hey, those lyrics are from a track called "Lemon Tree" on the album,
"Dish of the Day" by Fools Garden. I heard the track on the internet,
liked it so I bought the album in, of all places, Bangkok, Thailand.
In case you hadn't noticed, I have a rather eclectic taste in music.
Another oddity is an album by G Wayne Thomas. He produced a self titled
album with very good tracks on it. I like them all without exception.
I first heard it in the early 70s and didn't find a Vinyl LP until after
haunting used record stores for nigh on 30 years. When I had one in my
hot little hands, I had it professionally mastered to CD. They have
rereleased a remastered version of the album now on CD so I bought one
of those as well. The only one of the tracks that ever became popular
was "Open Up Your Heart" and that because it was part of the sound track
on a surf movie known as "Crystal Voyager".
OB food...
We don't have a lemon tree but a lot of our friends and neighbours have
them. Since a lot of what my wife prepares requires lemon, those we
obtain are squeezed and the juice stored in special "Ice Cube Bags"
We use these;

That's typical illogical squirtz BS. Normal brained folks would mix
the entire itty bitty can for a beverage and store that the fridge,
NOT mix up one glass at a time... odds are sqwertz has never used
frozen juice.

times they tend to leak where crimped at the metal bottom. Even if
someone needed some frozen concentrate to use as flavoring in a
recipe, ie. lemon cake, they still would mix the remainder with water
to use as a beverage... it's not like those itty bitty cans make up
gallons.

Frozen juices are packaged in itty bitty cans because folks mix the
entire amount at once, no one uses frozen concentrate to make one
serving at a time... even if I needed some concentrate for a recipe I
still would mix the remainder with water, and vodka... (preservative!)
Btw, tinned foods (once opened) should not be stored in their tin,
transfer to glass or plastic. I once saved up a bunch of frozen juice
concentrate cardboard cans for making ice pops, most can only be used
once as during freezing the crimp at the metal bottom opens.

sometimes need some for a recipe, usually the one for orange oven fried

least 20 years, I never thought about there being an additional lining.
Lining or not, since I don't dole out spoonfuls of juice at a time I'd
keep it frozen until ready to mix with water. But then, I don't cook

Nobody's probably going to read this but this poor lady was asking about me being kept in the fridge for a long period of time and everybody just talked about the can leaking but it is on the inside and I had mine in the fridge for a month and that's fine, but they always say keep frozen so I was just wondering if it was safe to drink after mixing it up being side out for so long.
