[Avodah] distilled fruit juice

[Doron Beckerman]

Sorry for not spelling it out. The Mishnah there says that Mei Chalav
Kechalav for Machshirin, but the consensus there is that it is Derabanan.
(According to the Rosh to Chullin 114, the case is that the curd is
completely cooked out and all you are left with is water.)  The AhS asks
why it is only Derabanan as milk - it should be Deoraysa because it is
water! In one place he leaves a Tzarich Iyyun, in the other place he says
that it isn't water - it is a blank, and has the status of Mei Peiros. So
after you distill something that did not start as water, turning it into
water, whether or not it has the status of water, or a blank, depends on
which Aruch Hashulchan you want to go with.
