- Preheat to 350°F.
 - In a small bowl, combine the honey and tea; let cool.
 - In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking soda.
 - In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer at medium-high speed, beat half of the granulated sugar with the egg yolks until thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
 - Slowly drizzle in the oil, beating until thickened.
 - Beat in the honey mixture and the dry ingredients in alternating batches.
 - In another medium bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
 - While beating, gradually add the remaining granulated sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form.
 - Fold the whites into the batter until no streaks of white remain.
 - Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch angel food cake pan.
 - Smooth the top, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is dark golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
 - Immediately invert the cake pan onto a wire rack, and let the cake cool completely.
 - Meanwhile, stir the confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice, adding 1 teaspoon at a time, to form a thick glaze.
 - Run a thin knife around the edge of the pan to release the cake.
 - Transfer to a serving plate, and drizzle with the lemon glaze.
