She needs one quart of concentrate. It does not mention the size of the cans, but this does not affect the result.

Explanation:

The ratio she uses to mix the juice is #1/4# orange juice and #3/4# water. Therefore, when the one-gallon jug is filled, it will also contain #1/4# juice and #3/4# water.

One-quarter of one gallon is one quart.
