Steep for 5-7 minutes and then strain the tea. Add the liquid back to the pan along with the sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and stir until dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey until dissolved. Add the tea leaves and stems back into the pot so that it can steep until the cake is ready.As soon as the cake comes out of the oven poke it a few times with a toothpick and pour the warm syrup all over the cake. Wrap some aluminum foil on the bottom and up the sides of the baking pan so that the syrup does not leak out and create a mess.Allow the cake to absorb all of the syrup.
