Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place 2 cups of almonds on a baking sheet, place them in the oven, and toast until they are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely. Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until they are a coarse meal. Set the almonds aside. Place 1 cup Demerara Syrup in a saucepan and warm it over medium heat. Add the almond meal and stir to combine. Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture steep until it has cooled completely. Strain through cheesecloth before using or storing.
