A composition and method for preserving hops at room temperature utilizes the inherent properties of fermentable hydroscopic powders to retain essential volatile oils and hop acids for extended periods of time. The composition is an intimate mixture of a fermentable hydroscopic powder such as maltose and dextrose and granulated hops having a low moisture content. This composition is prepared by reducing the size of the hops to a granular size and mixing the hops intimately with an equal or greater weight of hydroscopic powder.
