Making Your Own Electrolyte Drink

I believe on the Dr. Oz show today he said to make this drink use: Agave Nectar - 1 tbsp., sea salt - 1/2 tsp., a bit of baking soda - 1/4 tsp., and good water - 4 cups. Is this correct? What portions?

I watched the show today on the rerun of it and still am not positive I got it all. They breezed by it so fast and they need to make their website more user friendly IMHO. I looked for it there and didn't see it. Maybe they will put it up later. It was trainer Bob Harper who was a guest that day that offered it so maybe it is on the Biggest Loser site as well.
This is what I heard:
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 Tablespoon sea salt
2 Tablespoons agave nectar
water

He just said to mix it into your workout water bottle so no quantity given.

Edit: on Bob Harper's facebook wall there was an entry (by Arianna Fontana) today that confirmed the above recipe.
