In a small saucepan, bring the water and tea bag to a boil, remove from heat, and set aside to steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and discard it, and allow the tea to cool completely. In a pitcher, combine the brewed tea and the remaining ingredients, except for the ginger ale, and stir well to combine. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to chill for 30 minutes or more to allow the flavors to blend. Just before serving, gently stir in the ginger ale, and serve in ice-filled glasses.
