If one bakes bread made out of flour and pure fruit juice, it becomes pas haba bekisnin and the bracha is (at times) mezonos.

What if one distilled fruit juice (to produce water) and baked bread out of it and flour. Is the resulting considered bread or pas haba bekisnin?

What if one used a centrifugal distilator to produce water from mei peiros, does this water stay mei peiros or become water with regards to brachos?

This question can be generalized a lot: 1) There are many other dinim of water which are deoraita, such as hechsher tumah, nissuch hamayim, mikva. 2) Just go out and ask how to understand Chazal's categorizing juices etc. not as water when we know it's basically just water and sugar. Then, we can better understand if/when/how we can revert back to having it be water. – Double AA♦ Mar 8 at 4:53
@DoubleAA I had another question regarding dew and the difference between it and regular water – Shmuel Brin Mar 8 at 5:51
@DoubleAA You can mix glacial acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate (both are solids) and make water with sodium acetate (non toxic). I wonder if that is kosher when water is needed. – Ariel Mar 8 at 7:03
