Wash the apricots and cut into small cubes. Wash the raisins and let them drain on a sieve. Put apricot cubes, raisins, candied lemon peel and almond slivers in a bowl. Mix in cardamom, coriander and aniseed.
Pour the brandy over it and let the fruit steep covered for about 1 hour. Then bring 3/8 litres of water to the boil, divide the fruit with brandy into 4 cups or glasses and add hot water.
Serve the brandy trough immediately. It is best to add some sugar or honey so that everyone can sweeten their grog to their own taste.
