You are so right to use oat straw this time of year. The calcium and magnesium help the nervous system, it improves libido and is soothing in general. I like to make a tea of 1/4 cup in a quart canning jar. I cover the oat straw with boiling water and let it sit till morning. Then I strain it and refrigerate it if I am not making soup till later in the day. The strained tea becomes the stock I add to the other ingredients.
If I was new to using oat straw tea, I would try a regular size cup of tea and be sure it agrees with me.
I have grown oats to it's straw stage but it was not worth the space and time for me. I trust Mountain Rose Herbs company to get the best for me. If you want to try oat straw tea and stock, you can get a couple ounces for inexpensive and see if it brings the best out in you.
Call me when soups on will you?
