I think it does...

As for your problems with the tapioca, which brand of almond milk
were you using? Sounds like a brand to avoid...

Generally almond milk is made from raw almonds. There are a few
recipes i've seen that use toasted almonds, but they are by far in
the extreme minority. I think, if the old brain is running on all
cylinders - that most of the ones that use toasted almonds are
Spanish.

So raw almonds most of the time, and the liquid called for will vary
with the recipe. Most of the recipes i've seen have specified the
liquid.
