Ring of Fire
A cayenne type that dries brilliantly — string them up in the kitchen and you've got a year's worth of chilli flakes and an instant rustic aesthetic. Productive, hot without being hostile, and genuinely easy to grow.

Homemade chilli flakes
String the ripe red chillies on thread, hang in a warm, dry place until completely dried. Crush in a mortar. Your own chilli flakes, infinitely better than the jar, and they'll last all year.
